Parted in 1947, two brothers meet at Kartarpur after 74 years

New Delhi : Two brothers, who were separated during the India- Pakistan separation in 1947, met each other at Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara after 74 years.

During the partition, Sikka and his mother were left on the Indian side and his elder brother Sadiq Khan and father were left on the Pakistani side.

A day after a YouTuber in Pakistan, Nasir Dhillon, uploaded Sadiq’s appeal, he got a call from a rural medical practitioner from Sikka’s village. It took two more years though for the brothers to finally meet, overcoming the paperwork.

Check out the video when the two brothers met each other at Kartarpur Sahib below:

Meanwhile, Mr Sikka has requested Pakistan’s government to give him a visa so that he can visit his brother regularly.

"This village has always supported me. I have lived a good life here. I love them and they love me. But I also want to live with my brother. I hope the Pakistan government gives me a visa… I will keep coming back for a few months every year. This is how I want to spend the rest of my life."

Kartarpur corridor was recently reopened for pilgrims to visit the Kartarpur Gurudwara after coronavirus second wave suppressed.
