The Indian reporter who goes by the name Ravinder Singh Robin asked the Pakistani driving the bus to Kartarpur, Saddam Hussain, how he felt about the particular day. Hussain confidently replied that his happiness on the occasion was perhaps more than the Indian reporter himself. The bus driver revealed that he had previously worked in the Middle East and had several Sikh friends who were like brothers to him. He noted that this pilgrimage was equivalent to the experience one has when they go on Hajj. The short video ended as they arrived outside Gurdwara Dabar Sahib and Hussain wished his passenger well, saying, “May God always keep you happy. May you always come here; Pakistan will welcome you with open arms,” after stating that “Punjab has been united once again”.
