00:00 Some unholy developments are coming in from Pakistan.
00:04 Reportedly, Pakistan hosted a party on the grounds of the sacred Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara,
00:09 which infuriated religious sentiments.
00:11 The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee's General Secretary, Jagdeep Singh Kharlon,
00:16 has claimed that serving meat and alcohol during the celebration is against Sikh tradition.
00:21 He called for Pakistani government to take action against the perpetrators and vehemently
00:25 denounced the incident.
00:27 "Unacceptable, I strongly condemn the sacrilegious incident within the sacred premises of Gurudwara
00:33 Shri Kartarpur Sahib, where a party was organized involving alcohol and meat.
00:37 At the rate, government of Pakistan should take swift action against all responsible
00:41 people," Kharlon posted on Twitter.
00:44 Videos supposedly showing a dance party and the serving of meat and alcohol at the Kartarpur
00:48 Gurudwara have surfaced, inciting outrage among the Sikh community worldwide.
00:52 Manjirdan Singh Sirsa, a BJP leader and past president of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management
00:57 Committee, criticized the Pakistan administration, claiming that those hosting a dance party
01:02 in the Gurudwara complex, the Kartarpur Gurudwara Sahib administration, has desecrated the shrine.
01:08 Actually, this is nothing new coming out from Pakistan.
01:11 The previous approval of similar acts also raises doubts about the genuine motivations.
01:15 Similar events occurred in 2021 when a Pakistani model pictures of herself in the Gurudwara
01:19 complex without head covering drew harsh criticism on social media.
01:24 Speaking on behalf of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee, Manjirdan Singh Sirsa
01:28 emphasized that the event was held close to the PMU office, a crucial component of the
01:33 Kartarpur Gurudwara complex, and he demanded a public apology from the organizers.
01:38 The Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib in particular is extremely important to the Sikhs all over
01:43 the world because it is considered to be the holy site of Guru Nanak Dev where he spent
01:47 early years of his life preaching.
01:50 Any slight against it is sure to cause strong reactions from the Sikh community.
01:54 In 2019, the Kartarpur region, which was divided between India and Pakistan, was turned into
01:59 a joint corridor connecting India and Pakistan.
02:02 After 19 years of debate, the corridor was finally completed, allowing Sikhs all over
02:06 the world to visit the sacred location.
