he opening of the Gurdwara Bhai Biba Singh in Peshawar became possible because of the sustained efforts of Peshawari Singhs Sewa Society. S. Charanjeet Singh, the spokesperson of the society told that “We started talks with the Pakistan government in 2007 and moved a request seeking ownership rights to the gurudwara. A lot of things happened after it, like the Benazir Bhutto assassination, and things slowed but we did not give up. There were some issues with the local Muslim community, who were a bit sceptical about reopening a Sikh shrine, but we convinced them. We told them that Sikhs are a peace-loving community and that doors of the gurudwara would be open to every religion. Even Muslim labourers helped with the renovation”. Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Management committee is now looking after the Gurdwara at Mohalla Jogi Warha Hashtnagari Peshawar. The concerned persons can be contacted at mobile number +923335608331.
