NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday protested Pakistan moving the administration and upkeep of Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib from Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (PSGPC) to a non-Sikh body.
The Pakistan government moved the administration and upkeep of Kartarpur Sahib from PSGPC, a body run by the minority Sikh people group in Pakistan, to Evacuee Trust Property Board, which is a non-Sikh body.
“This one-sided choice by Pakistan is profoundly condemnable and runs against the soul of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor as likewise the strict assumptions of the Sikh people group everywhere,” the assertion read.
The assertion further added that the move has uncovered Pakistan authority’s “tall cases” of saving and securing the rights and government assistance of the strict minority networks.
“Pakistan is called upon to invert its discretionary choice to deny the Sikh minority network it’s entitlement to oversee undertakings of the Holy Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib,” it added.
Kartarpur Sahib is a gurdwara in Kartarpur, situated in Shakargarh, Narowal District, in the Punjab area of Pakistan. It is perhaps the holiest site in Sikhism, close by the Golden Temple in Amritsar and Gurdwara Janam Asthan in Nankana Sahib.
India and Pakistan in 2019 consented to an arrangement to operationalise the Kartarpur passage to permit Indian travelers a without visa visit to the blessed gurdwara, accepted to have been based on the site where Guru Nanak kicked the bucket in the sixteenth century, and found somewhere in the range of 4 km inside Pakistan.
