New Delhi, January 4: Members of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and the Shiromani Akali Dal on Saturday staged a protest near the Pakistan High Commission here over the mob attack on Gurdwara Nankana Sahib.

Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, also known as Gurdwara Janam Asthan, is the site near Lahore in Pakistan where Guru Nanak was born.

On Friday, a violent mob had attacked the gurdwara and pelted it with stones.

The protest by the DSGMC and Akali members was held at around 1 pm near Chanakyapuri, an affluent neighbourhood and diplomatic enclave in the city.

The protestors were raising slogans against Pakistan and Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The Sikh community members claimed that they had submitted a memorandum at the Pakistan High Commission, asking Islamabad to “explain the failure of law-enforcing agencies” in the country. PTI
