Celebrated on 13 April, the festival holds cultural and religious significance for the Sikh community, as it marks the beginning of the Sikh New Year.
Despite ongoing tensions between the two countries, the tradition of Indian pilgrims visiting Sikh holy shrines in Pakistan for Baisakhi continues. Pilgrims will visit Gurdwara Panja Sahib, Gurdwara Nankana Sahib and Gurdwara Kartarpu Sahib.
Emphasizing heritage and cultural exchanges, the move transcends the political divide between the two not-so-friendly South-Asian neighbours.
A large number of Sikh pilgrims from India visit Pakistan every year under the framework of the 1974 Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Pilgrimage Places.
Charge d'Affairs of Pakistan Saad Ahmed Waraich extended his warm greetings to all celebrating this auspicious festival and wished the visiting pilgrims a fulfilling journey.
