Arda for India-born Sharif Amritsar village prays for Sharif Jatti Umra (Amritsar), October 20 (Navjot Sidhu) "We are doing ?ardas? at a gurudwara for Mr Nawaz Sharif. We are also planning to keep ?akhand path? for his long life,? said Arjun Singh, who was a close friend of Mr Sharif. The people of Mr Sharif?s native village Jatti Umra, which is about 35 km from Amritsar, are worried about his future. When they came to know about his arrest, a pall of gloom descended on the village. They immediately rushed to a gurudwara situated in his ancestral house to pray for him. When this correspondent visited the village, the villagers were doing ?ardas? for the long life of Mr Sharif. They were also praying for his early release from the Army?s custody. Mr Arjun Singh had recently gone to Pakistan on behalf of the villagers. With tears in eyes, he said: ?We are feeling uncomfortable as Mr Sharif is in trouble. ?It was terrible time for us when we heard the news that his government had been toppled.? Another villager, Bali Singh, said that they would soon keep an ?akhand path? for his long life. ?It is difficult for us to bear him in this position.? He added that he had given us a lot of love. Even after the partition, his brothers had visited the village on many occasions. ?When we went to meet him in Pakistan, he treated us well. We feel very bad for him as he is a nice person. He had tried his best for better ties between the two countries,? he added
