Group leader Ravinder Singh Khalsa thanked the Pakistan government and the ETPB for making marvellous arrangements for them.
He said the Sikh community wanted that a good number of visas be issued to the community on the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism Founder Baba Guru Nanak so that more visitors could participate in the ceremonies.
