Chandigarh, September 14, 2025:
The Government of India did not allow SGPC to send Sikh Jathas to Pakistan this time on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Gurpurab. The Center has not given permission to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to send Jathas.
The Government of India has written a letter to the Chief Secretaries of Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, U.P. and Uttarakhand in this regard.
After this decision, no officially approved Sikh Jatha will go to Pakistan on the occasion of Gurpurab this year.
Although the letter cites security and other reasons, the full information has not yet come to light.
