An Indian woman who reportedly married a Pakistani national and converted to Islam is calling on Sikh pilgrims from India’s Punjab state to visit religious shrines in Pakistan, according to a video circulating on social media.

Sarabjit Kaur, also known as Noor Hussain, addressed Sikh devotees in a video message where she greeted viewers with “Sat Sri Akal” and “Walaikum Assalam” and urged them to travel to Pakistan’s gurdwaras without fear.

She said there was no pressure in Pakistan for individuals to change their religion and described conversion as a personal choice. She also encouraged pilgrims to visit religious sites with confidence and reassurance.

The video comes shortly after a 2,236-member Sikh pilgrimage group returned to India following visits to Pakistan for Khalsa Sajna Diwas and Vaisakhi commemorations.

Kaur reportedly travelled to Pakistan in November with a Sikh pilgrimage group during Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birth anniversary observances, after which she converted to Islam, adopted the name Noor Hussain and married a Pakistani man, remaining in the country.

The case has previously drawn attention in India, prompting the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to tighten travel guidelines for female pilgrims travelling alone.

Under revised rules, women pilgrims are now required to submit consent from multiple family members or responsible individuals before undertaking such religious visits.

Authorities have not independently verified the contents of the latest video.
