Lahore: A Pakistani Anti-Terrorism Court on Tuesday handed down up to two years imprisonment to three men for vandalising Gurdwara Nankana Sahib in the country's Punjab province.
Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, also known as Gurdwara Janam Asthan, is a site near Lahore where the first Guru of Sikhs, Guru Nanak, was born.
In January 2020, a violent mob attacked the Gurdwara and pelted stones in the name of religion and threatened to destroy the minorities worship place (Gurdwara Janamasthan) to build 'Ghulaman-e-Mustafa' shrine there.
