Hindu and Sikh Pilgrims Face Restrictions and Harassment in Pakistan
TL;DR
A Hindu pilgrim, Amar Chand, was turned back by Pakistani officials at the border because he was Hindu and not Sikh, despite being part of a Sikh pilgrimage group to Pakistan for Guru Nanak's birth anniversary. Chand and his family spent money on travel but were denied entry and sent back, highlighting issues of religious discrimination during the pilgrimage. The Sikh group, however, continued their visit to various gurdwaras in Pakistan.
