Each year large number of pilgrims from India pay visit to Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Rawalpindi district on the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi Day. Around 1,800 Sikh pilgrims had traveled to Pakistan last Thursday but had been stopped from going further as Pakistani authorities have repeatedly blocked the Indian High Commission from performing basic consular and protocol duties for Indian citizens. Taking cognizance, India has lodged a strong protest with Pakistan over blocking Sikh pilgrims' access to Indian diplomats and consular teams, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). India has express its unhappiness over Pakistan not allowing Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria to meet pilgrims on their arrival at Wagah Railway Station on April 12. Similarly, it was denied entry into Gurdwara Panja Sahib on April 14, for a scheduled meeting with pilgrims.
