The violent and dangerous assault by a Muslim mob on Gurdwara Nankana Sahib and the outright negligent response by the Pakistan government have raised serious concerns over the security of the Sikh community living in Pakistan.
On Friday, a Muslim mob of at least 400 people stormed the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib chanting anti-Sikh and pro-Islam slogans. The protesters surrounded the Gurdwara and pelted stones, expressing their anger against the Sikh community.
Pakistan has, however, rejected media reports that the historic Gurdwara Nanakana Sahib in Lahore was desecrated in a mob attack, saying the birthplace of founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak remains "untouched and undamaged" and the "claims of destruction" of one of the holiest Sikh shrines are "false".
