More Hindu-Sikh pilgrimage as Goodwill Mission to Pakistan.
Let’s open up more shrines to pilgrims, India proposes to Pakistan.
Proposing more Hindu-Sikh pilgrimage as goodwill corridor between India-Pakistan.
Sachin Parashar | TNN | New Delhi | Jan 29, 2022:: Even as bilateral ties with Pakistan remain in deep freeze, India is looking to build on the goodwill created by religious tourism by expanding the agreed list of shrines pilgrims from both sides are allowed to visit. India proposed the same to Pakistan in a note verbale Friday saying that pilgrims be also allowed to travel by air.
The government said Friday it had a positive approach to the issue and was willing to engage Islamabad. India believes an early implementation of the proposal will help both Sikhs and Hindus who are keen to visit pilgrimage centres in Pakistan.
The foreign ministry also confirmed Friday India will begin supply of wheat to Afghanistan via Pakistan soon.
“As you are aware, under the 1974 Protocol between India and Pakistan, visits to religious shrines are being facilitated regularly. There is an interest on both sides to expand the agreed list of shrines and mode of travel. It naturally needs to be discussed under the Protocol,” said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
“Let me underline that India has a positive approach on this matter and is willing to engage the Pakistani side,” he added.
The official also said that, as the pandemic situation normalised, India expected this time to be utilised for discussions under the bilateral Protocol. “It is our hope to facilitate early exchange of visits to all shrines of interest to pilgrims,” he said.
Both countries have been looking to facilitate visits by pilgrims since the Kartarpur Corridor reopened last year. Pakistan had last month issued visas to 112 Indian pilgrims allowing them to visit a Hindu temple in Pakistan Punjab.
Religious tourism and humanitarian issues have kept diplomats on both sides occupied even in the absence of any substantive bilateral engagement between the 2 countries. Visits by pilgrims under the 1974 Protocol have continued despite the occasional disruption like in 2018 when India denied visas to Pakistani pilgrims following the strife over the Kulbhushan Jadhav case. A mechanism to facilitate religious tourism was among the 5 agreements that PM Narendra Modi had reached in 2015 with his then counterpart Nawaz Sharif in a bilateral meeting in Russia.
India is currently also working with Pakistan to supply wheat to Afghanistan through the Attari-Wagah land route. The government said Friday it was hoping to begin the delivery soon and that it remained committed to providing humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.
“The process to procure wheat and to arrange its transportation is currently underway. Naturally, this takes some time. We will share the updates as soon as we have them. We hope to be able to do it shortly,” said Bagchi.

Struggle for Hindu Existence 
This is one sided. Why? The one want peace and progress, while the other
has shown to be a destroyer. A faceless God and a full face God, can it
be peaceful? The faceless God exists about 1500 years. There is only one
solution; Bharat must be united again, peacefully, if not, then by force. This
is the voice of Sri Hanuman Seva Sena.

There are traitors deep within our government who are pursuing another country’s agenda in pushing for this disgusting lunacy.
One individual in particular who needs to be removed sooner rather than later is S. Jaishankar, our foreign minister. His tenure has been little short of a disaster.
