Sarbjit had ‘worked’ with Pakistan man in Gulf

Days after Sarbjit Kaur married a Pakistan national, Nasir Hussain, after deserting the Sikh jatha midway when they were in Pakistan to celebrate Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev, a media report from Pakistan went viral on social media today stating that both of them worked together in the Gulf.

Their friendship developed while working in Dubai, it said, adding that the Pakistan police were trying to trace them as they were on the run since they entered wedlock.

After SGPC, Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) also sought strict norms to prohibit misuse of jatha for other purposes. PSGPC president Ramesh Singh Arora said Pakistan was mulling strict norms and surveillance during the stay of Indian pilgrims in his country.

Sources in the SGPC stated that the image of the SGPC was unnecessarily being sullied. They said only those people with devotion to the Almighty should utilise the jatha for pilgrimage.

A grandmother of two minor girls, Sarbjit, a resident of Kapurthala, was part of the 1932-member jatha which crossed over to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah joint check post on November 4.
