Hindu pilgrims denied Pakistan entry, echoing past Pahalgam terror feelings.
In a distressing incident at the Wagah border, Pakistan denied entry to 14 Hindu pilgrims traveling with a Sikh jatha to Nankana Sahib for Guru Nanak Dev’s birth anniversary, citing their religion. The pilgrims, including Amarchand and Ajay Kumar, described their experience as reminiscent of past atrocities against Hindus, expressing feelings of fear and humiliation. The Hindu Samaj Foundation condemned this act as an affront to religious harmony and has called for the Indian government to take diplomatic measures against Pakistan. This incident underscores ongoing religious discrimination issues in cross-border interactions, highlighting the need for enhanced diplomatic discourse to protect the rights and dignity of all faiths in such exchanges.
