The centenary of the massacre of Sikhs at Nankana Sahib, remembered as 'Saka Nankana Sahib', was marked on a large scale in the birthplace of Guru Nanak, the first guru and founder of the Sikh faith. Tune into this special report from our Pakistan-based reporter Masood Mallhi.
A jatha (a group of pilgrims) from India was supposed to take part in the Nankana Sahib’s week-long programme in Pakistan, but before they could cross the Attari-Wagah border on February 18, the Indian government denied the permission, citing security concerns and Covid-19 threat.
The group of 600 members was expected to visit five gurdwaras in Pakistan.
