Bibi Jagir Kaur said, “Pilgrims who got visas should be allowed to attend main programmes to be held on February 21 at Sri Nankana Sahib. It is disrespectful to Sikh sentiments to restrict Jatha at last minute despite completion of preparations.” (3)

SGPC president reminded PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah that SGPC had written a letter to Ministry of External Affairs on Jan 12 regarding Jatha. “But it is surprising that Jatha was not permitted to go ahead on Wednesday at last minute”, said Bibi Jagir Kaur. (4)

She wrote that sentiments of Sikh community are attached to mark centenary of Saka Nankana Sahib, which have been hurt. (5)

For reopening corridor of Sri Kartarpur Sahib, she said, “Corridor of Sri Kartarpur Sahib is suspended for long time. Its very unfortunate to be barred from visiting our holy shrines for which serious consideration should be given. Demand immediate reopening of corridor.” (6)
