Pakistan authorities turned away 14 Indian Hindu citizens who were part of a pilgrim group traveling to celebrate Guru Nanak's 556th birth anniversary at Nankana Sahib. Officials reportedly denied them entry specifically because they were Hindus, not Sikhs, despite having proper travel documentation. This incident occurred during the first civilian exchange between India and Pakistan since Operation Sindoor, highlighting ongoing tensions between the two nations.
