Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, as a special gesture, has decided to allow 10 buses carrying Sikh pilgrims from Indian Punjab to visit Nankana Sahib on the occasion of the Baisakhi Festival on April 13 this year. The Prime Minister's decision of allowing the Sikh pilgrims, as a special case, is in deference to the wishes of the Sikh community conveyed to him by Indian Prime Minister and Chief Minister of the Indian Punjab, says a press release.
He has also directed the concerned authorities to initiate steps for early commencement of the Lahore-Amritsar bus service.
