They have demanded stricter punishment for the attackers
Anger is apparently rising among the minorities in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: Bitterness has once again emerged between the Muslims and Sikhs of Nankana Sahib after a Lahore court pronounced ‘mild’ sentence upon three Muslims who had instigated and led a frenzied all-Muslim mob to attack the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib - the birthplace of Sikh’s first master Guru Nanak Dev, in January 2020.
While the Sikhs under the aegis of the ‘
Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’ have decided to challenge the ‘mild’ punishment given to the accused in the court, they have also filed a petition in the court for the annulment of the sentence.
