Lahore, November 6
Pakistan on Wednesday said Sikh pilgrims would not be allowed to indulge in any “political activities” at gurdwaras during their visit to attend the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak and the Kartarpur corridor opening.
“No political activity is allowed at the religious place. It is strictly banned and action will be taken if any one is found involved in political activities during his visit to take part in religious festivities,” Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) chairman Amir Ahmed said.
The ETPB is a statutory board that manages religious properties and shrines of Hindus and Sikhs who had migrated to India following the partition.
When asked about a video, released by Pak Ministry of I&B on Monday, showing a poster of Khalistan separatists Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his aides Shabeg Singh and Amrik Singh Khalsa in the backdrop, Ahmed said: “It is not in my knowledge, but the government won’t tolerate any political activity by visitors.” — PTI
