With Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birth anniversary approaching in November, the annual Sikh pilgrimage to Nankana Sahib in Pakistan faces uncertainty after an advisory reportedly asked states to pause processing for an Indian Sikh jatha citing security concerns, triggering sharp pushback from Sikh bodies and Punjab leaders. Each year, the largest contingent traditionally comes from India, with thousands visiting under city- or shrine-specific visas that typically cover around 10 designated gurdwaras, while Pakistan hosts a wider network of historical Sikh shrines including Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur Sahib. Critics argue that even during past periods of heightened India–Pakistan tensions, symbolic jathas were allowed, urging a review or a limited-capacity permission in line with precedents and the 1974 Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines. Organisers highlight that many devotees have already prepared documents and await clarity, while authorities maintain security remains paramount amidst strained bilateral ties.
