Lahore, Pakistan (May 28, 2014): As per certain media reports a resolution seeking the Parkash Gurpurb of Guru Nanak Sahib to be made a public holiday in Pakistan’s Punjab province, has been approved by the Pakistan’s Punjab state assembly.

As per information available with the Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) the resolution was approved in the Punjab Assembly on May 28.

Sardar Ramesh Singh, the first Sikh member of the Punjab Assembly, had reportedly tabled the resolution.

The passing of the resolution comes just a few days after members of the Sikh community stormed through the gates of Parliament House to protest against the alleged desecration of Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

The protesters later regretted for entering the premises in a violent manner and forwarded a list of demands to members of the Senate.
Leader of the House Raja Zafarul Haq had assured the 13-member Sikh committee that he would forward their demands to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
