‘Minorities do not face discrimination’
The Sikh community and other minorities in the country live like the majority does without any discrimination, Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) President Sardar Satwant Singh has asserted.
While talking to the media on Sunday, he said the government has provided extraordinary facilities to the Sikh community at one of the most sacred places for them.
“Darbar Sahib Kartarpur has been developed to match its status and all the sacred places of Sikhs like Darbar Sahib Panja Sahib and others have not only been beautified but also restored to their original glory,” he highlighted.
“Due to the pandemic, this year less than half the number of Sikhs have come for the 551st birth anniversary of Baba Ji,” Satwant Singh revealed.
He hoped that the authorities would build better roads in the second phase as compared to those built in Kartarpur corridor project’s phase 1.
He called on the government to build an expressway between Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur Sahib so that time could be saved and better security could be provided to the visitors.
Moreover, the committee president suggested that the authorities engage Sikh community members residing in Europe, Canada and other countries to invest in such mega projects.
The PSGPC president also said Sikhs all over the world love Pakistan and give respect to its citizens.
