NEW DELHI: A Sikh body April 14 demanded that Nankana Sahib, the birth place of Guru Nonak in Pakistan, be given a status similar to the Vatican City so that the devotees have free access to the place
President of Indian National Forum Balbir Singh said that denial of Visas to 1,000 Sikh pilgrims April 12 indicates the biased attitude of Pakistan government. He said the Pakistan High Commission was particularly (biased towards Schajdhari Sikhs which gives rise to the suspicion that they were targeting one community.”
The forum threatened to launch an agitation to achieve the objective of “Vatican City status” to Nankana Sahib located in Shekhupura district of Pakistan.
