Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan’s minority Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) Baba Ji Gopal Singh visited the historic and sacred Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Hassan Abdal today. During the visit, he met with the Sikh community, listened to their concerns, and was warmly received by the sangat. In accordance with tradition, he was presented with the Guru Ghar’s saropa. He also performed his religious rituals at the Gurdwara.

Gurdwara Panja Sahib is one of the most revered Sikh religious sites. It is associated with a miracle of Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji, where his sacred handprint is imprinted on a rock. The site attracts Sikh pilgrims from around the world, who visit to pay their respects and seek spiritual blessings.

Addressing the sangat, Baba Ji Gopal Singh said that the government is “Sikh-friendly” and committed to resolving the issues of minorities. He announced that the draft of the Sikh Marriage Act in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has reached its final stages and will soon be passed in the provincial assembly.

He further stated that he is in close contact with the government to ensure the full rehabilitation of Sikh, Hindu, and Christian communities affected by recent floods. He highlighted that Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’s leader, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, loves all Pakistanis without discrimination of religion, color, or race, and continues to work actively to safeguard their constitutional and legal rights.

Baba Ji Gopal Singh also emphasized that efforts are being made for the restoration of minority places of worship in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa damaged during the floods, expressing optimism that good news would follow soon. He paid tribute to the Pakistan Army for its services in rescue and relief operations in both Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, stating that the nation salutes their commitment.

Concluding his visit, he offered Ardas (prayers) for the progress, prosperity, and peace of Pakistan.
