:dateline:Congress parliamentarian S. Partap Singh Bajwa has sought land swap between India and Pakistan to facilitate permanent access of Gurdwara Sri Kartarpur Sahib to the Sikhs masses residing in India. He has said that it will be a great gift to the Sikh community if the duo governments manage to facilitate permanent access of Gurdwara Sri Kartarpur Sahib to the Indian Sikhs through a land swap.
