After Pakistan violated established diplomatic protocols by preventing visiting Sikh pilgrims from meeting the Indian envoy and other diplomats based in Islamabad, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, General Secretary, DSGMC today addressed a press conference on the issue of 'Yatra to Gurdwara Sahibs' in Pakistan ahead of 550 Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 'Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has plotted to defame Sikhs worldwide and we will not let this happen. ISIS has harmed the Sikhs every now and then. Pakistan is one such country that eats for terrorism, makes terrorism and causes terrorism. This is their only motive. Their thoughts are those of terrorism and to kill people,' he said. Pakistan denied its diplomats’ access to the visiting Indian Sikh pilgrims for consular assistance and preventing Indian High Commissioner from visiting Gurdwara Punja Sahib. 'We have always fought against terrorism and stood by religion, humanity and respected all, we, as Sikhs have always been taught to guard people and fight against terrorism. We stand for all the Sikhs across the globe and we promise them that we will guard Sikhism, even if we have to leave ‘our seats’,' said Sirsa. publive-image 'Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and Shiromani Akali Dal are determined to guard Sikhism, fight terrorism and serve people.' 'We have also written a letter to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj so that the 550th Parkash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is celebrated in full spirits, as Pakistan will try their best to encourage and conspire. Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal will also meet PM Modi and discuss the issue, as Pakistan will make its best efforts to keep Sikhs away from the Gurdwaras,' Manjinder Sirsa said. India in a statement issued on Monday said that the Pakistani diplomat was called upon "to immediately stop all such activities that were aimed at undermining India's sovereignty, territorial integrity and incitement of disharmony in India." -PTC News-
