AMRITSAR, AUGUST 5
Bhartiya Janta
Party state vice president Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina today hailed the
judgment of Pakistan Supreme Court in which the apex court had decided in
favour of Gurudwara lands, which is being usurped by the land mafia. There are
around 200 Sikh Gurdwaras in Pakistan which has huge chunk of lands but that is
being grabbed by the mafia and now the verdict would provide a relief to the community.
He stated that some members of Aukaf Board and
even Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) had been in hands in
glove with the land mafia in Pakistan. ``This issue has exposed the nexus and
we can hope that the lands belonging to the shrines in Pakistan would be
protected’’, said Chhina in a press statement issued here today.
Chhina also
expressed concerns over the repair and upkeep of various Gurdwaras in Pakistan
and said many of the historic Gurdwaras were in the dilapidated conditions.
``The friendly relations between India and Pakistan would usher in more
cooperation that would help the Sikhs to maintain their shrines’’, said Chhina
adding that the upcoming Independence day of India (Aug 15) and Pakistan (Aug
14) must remind the two countries to forge the closer ties between the two
nations.
He also appealed
the Pakistan government to provide protection to the Sikh Gurdwaras in Pakistan
as their lands were in danger and also help the Sikh community to repair and
maintain the religious places as per the Sikh traditions.
