Lal Haveli In Pak To Be Thrown Open To Sikhs

[Azaad]

Lal Haveli at Mochi Bazaar in Lahore, Pakistan, associated with martyrdom of the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, will be thrown open soon.

Pesident, America Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, Pritpal Singh, while talking to The Tribune on phone from Lahore, yesterday informed that vice-chairman of the Wakf Board Mohammad Ali Khan announced this during the annual Shaheedi Jor Mela in Lahore.

He said Lal Haveli, also known as Lal Khuh due to the presence of a well, has great religious significance for the Sikh community, as the fifth Sikh Guru was tortured to death here by one Chandu.

The haveli, also known as Chandu’s Haveli, has a small cell where Chandu had imprisoned Guru Arjun Dev after arresting him in 1606 AD.

During his detention, the Guru used to draw water out of the well and use it for his bath. It is also the place where the Guru was put to several tortures.

He said Khan had also announced that the road to the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor on the Pakistan side would also be completed soon and the government of India would be informed for taking the next course of action.

He said the vice-chairman also stated that their government wanted that Sikh devotees from India should come to pay obeisance at historic Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib without any passport and visa restrictions.

See the thread on Guru Arjan's martyrdom. Jahangir didn't act on Chandu's orders, he had his own reasons for causing Guru Arjan Dev's shaheedi.
