KARTARPUR: Two brothers, who were separated during the partition of the sub-continent, reunited after 74 years in Kartarpur Tuesday.
As per the details, Siddique, a resident of Pakistan’s Faisalabad met with elder brother Habib who arrived at Kartarpur from the Phullanwal area of Indian Punjab.
Both the brothers could not control their emotions and burst into tears of joy when they reunited after 74 years. They embraced each other and recalled their memories.
During the meeting, Habib lauded the initiative of Kartarpur, saying that the corridor became a source of their reuniting, adding that the corridor will also help reunite other separated families as well.
He told his younger brother that they will continue meeting through the corridor.
 
very sad govs acting like stone hearts here . some people really need to cross border weekly man .
 
So the older brother who stayed back in India became a Sikh?
 
Many families in villages of Punjab had Sikh, Hindu cousins while they themselves were Muslims
You can go through the channel itself where they talk about Thier Sikh family members on the other side (ofcourse at this point far away family members, like sharing a great grandfather or something)
 
So the older brother who stayed back in India became a Sikh?
Many sikhs in India use persian names, you can find names like Adil, Akram or Iqbal etc among sikhs although in very small numbers compared to others.

Islamabad: Pakistan has issued a visa to Indian national Sikka Khan to visit his brother and family in Pakistan after a heartwarming viral video captured their tearful reunion 74 years after they were separated by the India-Pakistan partition in 1947.

The Pakistan High Commission in India on Friday issued the visa to the Indian citizen to facilitate the family reunion in Pakistan after seven decades.

Sikka Khan met his elder brother Muhammed Sadiq Khan for the first time since separation on January 10 at the Kartarpur peace corridor. “I am delighted that I have got the visa. I will now travel to Pakistan to meet my brother and other family members,” he said in a video message.



Kartarpar bringing people closer​


“The story of the two brothers is a powerful illustration of how the historic opening of the visa-free Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in November 2019 by Pakistan is bringing people closer to each other,” the Pakistan High Commission said. In late 2019, Pakistan opened the visa-free Kartarpur crossing to allow Indian Sikh pilgrims access to one of the holiest sites of their religion, Gurdwara Darbar Sahib.

Brothers reunited​


The two brothers were separated in August 1947 when Sikka Khan’s father and elder brother, Sadiq, left Phulewala village in Indian Punjab and returned to their village of Bogran in Pakistan.

Pakistan issued the visa to the Indian man after the emotional reunion video of the two brothers went viral in Pakistan and India. Sikka and Sadiq got in touch through Pakistani YouTuber Nasir Dhillon whose channel has helped reunite about 200 families.

In the video, Sadiq rushes into Sikka’s arms as his brother soothes him, with tears flowing down their cheeks. They spent three hours together at the Kartarpur corridor but had to be separated again at sundown when the site closes. But they will be reunited soon. With Pakistan’s visa stamped on his passport, Sikka Khan is all set to travel to Pakistan to make up for all the years lost.

No tweets no BS talks nothing .if it was india if you remember that hippo faced sushma suraaj she have make it an issue like she was mother of humanity .
 
By the name, Sikka Khan, it does not look like Sikh.
Sikhism btw does not believe in asking people to convert.
Sikka was his real name before conversion. Thats forking turban itself is nough.
And he is one of many.. mostly women and kids were abducted by sick bastards.

Sikka and his mother was left in 47 and forcefully converted.
