recent decision to allow the annual sikh jatha to visit Sri Nankana Sahib and other historic shrines in

the sacred birthplace of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj stated that sikh jathas travel
every year to Pakistan under the agreement between India and Pakistan, where they pay obeisance at
historic gurdwaras.
