AMRITSAR: Is Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif government planning to give visas on arrival to Sikhs willing to pay obeisance at the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev? According to highly placed sources, deliberations are being held about allowing Indian followers of Baba Nanak to visit Nankana Sahib in Pakistan in exchange for a similar facility for the Pakistani Muslims to visit Ajmer Sharif or some other Muslim shrine in India.
For long, Sikhs have been taking up the issue of ‘Khule Darshan Seedar’ (free and easy access) of Gurdwara in Pakistan both with the Indian and Pakistani governments since a large number of Sikhs didn’t have passports and wanted to avoid cumbersome formalities to travel across the border.
