		As Pakistan was born as a sovereign Islamic republic, the jurisdiction of the SGPC over the historic Sikh Gurdwaras in the West Punjab ceased.
		As Pakistan is a sovereign country, and the Laws of India cannot apply to it extra-territorially, by establishing its own PGPC, the Pakistan government is mirroring the jurisdictional legislations of India.
		The criteria would be a friendly and co-operative attitude towards Pakistan and its people; the genuine desire to encourage the fulfillment of the object of the progress and welfare of the Gurdwaras, and preservation of the Sikh religion and its traditions.
