Wagah (Amritsar), June 22: The delegation of 139 Sikh pilgrims, which had gone to Pakistan to observe the martyrdom day of fifth Sikh guru Arjan Dev, returned home today and said the people there are eagerly waiting for resumption of normal rail and road links between the two countries.
On reaching the Wagah border the pilgrims told reporters that they had been received warmly by the Pakistani masses.
They said hundreds of Pakistan nationals who came to
Gurudwara Dera Sahib in Lahore had chiefly one question to ask them, " When is the Indian government going to resume normal rail and road links with Pakistan."
Muslims families who had married off their daughters to persons in India told the Sikh jatha members that hundreds of families had applied for visa with the Indian Embassy in Islamabad.
