Centre’s top priority is seemingly renaming historic cities and building Ram Mandir. On the other hand, heartening to see that Pakistani prime minister has initiated steps to name Baloki forest reserve after Guru Nanak_ji_ & create a university under his name,” the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister tweeted. She was reacting to Imran’s announcement that he was taking steps to name the wild life reserve after Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism. “The Baloki Forest Reserve and a new University in Nankana Sahib will be established and named after Baba Guru Nanak. Pakistan belongs to all citizens equally and we will ensure that Sikh pilgrims are facilitated for 550th anniversary of Guru Nanak,” Khan said at a function.
