Pakistan has categorically rejected India’s allegations regarding an alleged attack on the Golden Temple in Indian Punjab.
In a statement, the Foreign Office of Pakistan said India made a misplaced and misleading allegation. “Pakistan has the highest respect for all religious shrines and would never even think of attacking a shrine as holy as the Golden Temple,” said the spokesperson.
The FO spokesperson also stated that on the night of May 6-7, India targeted places of worship in Pakistan. The statement further added, “These allegations are a clear attempt by India to shift focus away from its own unacceptable behaviour against religious places.”
The statement also continued, “Pakistan is a proud guardian of Sikh religious heritage,” underscoring its respect for religious heritage, especially Sikh heritage. The Foreign Office said thousands of Sikh pilgrims come to Pakistan every year. It added that Pakistan supports their religious journey by allowing visa-free travel through the Kartarpur Corridor.
The spokesperson again clarified that the Indian claims regarding the Golden Temple are absolutely baseless and false. The official stated that the Indian side is attempting to divert attention from its own activities and create a propaganda atmosphere by making such serious allegations.
The news also mentioned yet another development. Sikhs for Justice declared the Khalistan Referendum-II in Surrey, Canada, according to the original source.
