New Delhi, January 5, 2020 (Yes Punjab News)
Congress Rajya Sabha member Partap Singh Bajwa has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send an all party delegation of Sikh MPs to Pakistan immediately.
Bajwa raised the issue in light of the recent events that are unfolding in Pakistan. The day after Guru Gobind Singh Jayanthi, a mob of individuals gathered outside the gates of Gurudwara Nankana Sahib, the holiest of Sikh shrines, calling for its destruction.
The crowd also shouted slogans of removing all Sikhs from Nankana Sahib and renaming the town. Following this, on the fifth of January, a Sikh youth was found brutally murdered in Peshawar.
Alarmed at the violence that was faced by the Sikh Community in Pakistan, Bajwa requested the Prime Minister to send an all party delegation of Sikh MPs from both Houses, led by the Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar at the earliest.
The delegation would study the conditions of the Sikh Community in Pakistan, Bajwa said. The MP believes this is an imperative step that must be undertaken in lieu of the above mentioned incidents.
