"Sikhs in Pakistan are being tortured, they are being forced to accept Islam. There have been cases where girls were kidnapped and then later forced to marry a Muslim man. This is an absolute shame and it reflects the hollowness of democracy there. Prime Minister of Pakistan should be ashamed of this matter," president of DSGMC said.
He further added that Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee raises its voice on any persecution that happens to Sikhs across the world. "Committee members will be approaching the Ministry of External Affairs at 2 o'clock today to talk about these situations being created in Pakistan," Manjinder Singh Sirsa added.
