ISLAMABAD: On Saturday, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that over 8,000 Sikh Yatrees from India and elsewhere are reaching Pakistan to celebrate Baba Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary.

“More than eight thousand Sikh Yatrees from all over the Globe are arriving in Pak[istan] to celebrate the Birth Anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak, welcome to the land of Gurus, Sufis and Yugi’s,” the minister tweeted.
