Gurmeet Singh:Struggle for Khalistan Unceased
FAROOQABAD: The Sikh visitors, who are in Pakistan to participate in the 535th Birth Day celebrations of the Guru Baba Nanak, the founder of Sikh religion have urged Pakistan and India for more concentrated efforts to bring peace for the region.
"People from both the countries are looking towards their government to initiate dialogue process. This will help bring an immediate end to the mounting tension between the two sides", they told newsmen after reaching Farooqabad on Wednesday.
Gurdas Singh, a Sikh pilgrim said that we wanted better Pakistan-India relations in every aspect be it political front, tourism or sporting ties. "Better ties between the neighbouring states will also bring better results for the Sikh community", he said. Coming hard onto the suspension of Samjhota Express between Pakistan and India, he said this added to our grievances. "Indian Sikhs are itching to visit their sacred religious sights housed in Pakistan but poor travel services especially suspended Samjhota Express resulted in low turn-out in Pakistan this time", he said.
Another Sikh pilgrim, Sardar Badar Shikri lauded Pakistan authorities' arrangement for them. "We are pleased to see warm welcome Pakistanis especially Lahorities showered on us. We never come across any impression of alienation during our tour", he said.
The Sikh, he said, would never forget the hospitality and generous attitude of Pakistani citizens, which clearly shows their affiliation towards us.
On the ongoing Khalistan movenemnt in Indian side of Punjab, Gurmeet Singh said that our struggle for independent homeland was not ceased. "The Indian fanatics are involved in serious crimes against minorities especially Sikhs and Muslims living all across India. The Indian government is a playing the mere role of a silent spectator", he argued.
During their visit to Farooqabad they will pay a visit to Gurdwara of Sachaa Sodda and perform their famous religious ritual of Matha Taikna (Stone-touching).
The Sikh pilgrims will return to Hafizabad in the evening for their religious rituals. On November 7, they are scheduled to participate last-day celebration of the birthday ceremonies of Guru Nanak.
During their visit, Sikh pilgrims will also go to Hassan Abdal, which houses the famous gurdwara (Sikh temple) of Punja Sahib.
