Sikh community members protest against sealing of Gurudwara in Pakistan
New Delhi: A large number of Sikh community people staged a protest in Indian national capital Delhi over the sealing Gurudwara Shaheed Bhai Taru situated at Naulakha in Lahore in Pakistan, media reports said on Wednesday.
Members of the main organiser group, Jag Aasra Guru Ott (JAGO) party along with several other angered Sikhs marched towards the Pakistan High Commission and submitted their memorandum to the officials, reports ANI.
Leading the protest at Teen Murti Chowk, Manjit Singh GK, President of Jag Aasra Guru Ott (JAGO) told the news agency, "The JAGO party and Sikhs of Delhi have come here to protest against the Pakistan government who have put the lock on the historical gurudwara of Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh. The land and property of Gurudwara have already been taken by the land mafia. The Pakistan government should remove that lock and hand over the keys to Sikh communities or the Pakistan Gurudwara Prabandhak committee."
Previously the Sikh community were not allowed to observe the anniversary of Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh at his Samadhi under the pressure of a local hardline Muslim group who claimed ownership rights of the land of the Samadhi, the news agency reported.
Once again, land sharks in Lahore attempted to seize the Gurudwara's property, causing unrest between the local Sikh and Muslim communities.
