On April 14, 2023, 2,238 Sikh pilgrims from India crossed the Attari-Wagah border into Pakistan to celebrate Baisakhi, also known as Khalsa Foundation Day. This pilgrimage is significant as it marks the second Sikh jatha to visit Pakistan since the 2025 Operation Sindoor, which restricted cross-border travel. The pilgrims, granted over 2,800 visas by the Pakistan High Commission, will visit several important Sikh shrines, including Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak, and Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Hasan Abdal, where the main Baisakhi ceremony is scheduled. After a two-day stay in Nankana Sahib, the group is set to return to India on April 19. However, around 70 pilgrims were denied departure due to insufficient clearance from the Indian government, leading to protests against the authorities. Baisakhi holds deep religious significance for Sikhs, celebrating the establishment of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. The Nehru-Liaquat Pact of 1950 allows Sikh pilgrims to visit Pakistan for specific religious occasions, but travel restrictions were imposed following a 2025 terror attack.
