Pak has Mecca and Medina for Sikhs: PM Khan

Pakistan has the Mecca and Medina for the Sikhs and the country is opening up those sites for the minority community, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said.

Khan was in the UAE on a day-long trip to take part in the 7th edition of the World Government Summit on the invitation of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum.

“We have the Mecca and Medina of the Sikhs... and we are just opening up those sites for Sikhs,” Khan said on Sunday.

Mecca and Medina are the two holiest sites in Islam. “We have opened our visa regime. For the first time in Pakistan, we have 70 countries from where people can come and get visas at the airport,” the Pakistan PM said.
