Prime Minister Imran Khan has extended greetings on the 551st birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak Dev here on Monday (today).

In his video message via Twitter, PM Imran has wished the entire Sikh community on Baba Guru Nanak’s birthday. He said as a Muslim we respect the religious rights of all Sikhs because we also have huge respect for our religion Islam.

Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur has the same religious value for Sikhs as Makka and Madina for the Muslim community, the premier said.

The Prime Minister vowed to protect the Holy sites of the Sikhs and added that we have also revamped the Hasan Abdal Railway Station to avoid any inconvenience for the Sikh Yatrees.

We have provided all possible facilities at the upgraded Railway Station so that the Yatrees feel easy to travel there, added PM Imran.

The Prime Minister went on to add that it is our government’s keen responsibility to protect all religious sites belonging to every religion, whether it is Christianity or Hinduism.

He made it clear that his government is committed to preserve and protect holy sites of all religions and places relating to Buddhism as well as the Gandhara civilization.
