In a con­grat­u­la­tory note to the newly elected Pak­istan Pre­mier Im­ran Khan, the first Sikh New Zealand Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment –Kan­waljit Singh Bak­shi has urged that as part of the his­toric 550 year birth an­niver­sary cel­e­bra­tions of the founder of the Sikh faith –Guru Nanak, the Pak­istan gov­ern­ment may ac­cord Vat­i­can sta­tus to Nankana Sahib –the birth place of Guru Nanak. He said that this will pave way for easy and un­fet­tered ac­cess to Sikhs world­wide and this would be a land­mark ges­ture by the Is­lamic Re­pub­lic of Pak­istan and will be very well ap­pre­ci­ated by Sikhs across the globe.
