The chief of Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC), Satwant Singh on September 7 said that Pakistan Government has given permission to former president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Manage Committee (DSGMC), Paramjit Singh Sarna, to hold Nagar Kirtan (Sikh religious procession) from Wagah border to Nankana Sahib, birth place of Guru Nanak, in Pakistan, and the procession will be accorded warm welcome, reports Hindustan Times. Sarna has planned the procession from Gurdwara Nanak Piao in New Delhi to Nankana Sahib in Pakistan on October 28.
Similarly, DSGMC’s president and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Rajouri Garden, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has also planned a separate nagar kirtan from Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in New Delhi to Nankana Sahib on October 13. This has been the point of contention for the two separate groups of the Sikh community in the national capital.
