Nankana Sahib attacks different from minorities oppression by Modi's RSS vision:Imran Khan
New Delhi/IBNS: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday termed the mob attack on Gurudwara Nankana Sahib "condemnable" and said the incident of vandalism is against his "vision" and his government will show "zero tolerance" against those involved in it.
Gurudwara Nankana Sahib is the birthplace of the first Guru of Sikhs, Guru Nanak.
Despite the blatant mob attack on the religious site and repetitive incidents of abductions and forced conversions of young women of minority communities, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said the incident was against his "vision" and different from the attacks on Muslims in India.
"The major difference between the condemnable Nankana incident & the ongoing attacks across India on Muslims & other minorities is this: the former is against my vision & will find zero tolerance & protection from the govt incl police & judiciary," he tweeted.
"In contrast, Modi's RSS vision supports minorities oppression & the targeted attacks against Muslims are part of this agenda. RSS goons conducting public lynchings, Muslims being violated by mobs are all not only supported by Modi Govt but Indian police leads anti-Muslim attacks," he added.
A huge mob surrounded the religious site and pelted stones when pilgrims were inside it, local reports said. The situation was controlled after a police force was sent to the spot.
India issued a statement strongly condmening the attack and asked the government of Pakistan to ensure protection of minorities on its soil.
Leaders across party lines condemned the mob attack on the iconic gurudwara, terming it "shameful" and "cowardly".
