India said it expects Pakistan to allow a visit of a group of 1,500 pilgrims on Gurupurab. The move comes following the denial of permission for visits by two other groups in June. Pakistan had denied permission to Sikh pilgrims on two occasions in June this year. One on the martyrdom day of Guru Arjan Dev and second on the death anniversary of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. "In view of the significance of Gurupurab and sentiments associated with it, it has been decided that a Jatha of around 1500 pilgrims will visit Pakistan from November 17-26, 2021 via the Attari-Wagah ICP," said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
