Former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, a BJP leader, has alleged that the administration of the Kartarpur Gurdwara in Pakistan desecrated the Gurdwara Shri Darbar Sahib shrine by hosting a meat and dance party within the Kartarpur Sahib complex.
The Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara holds immense significance for the Sikh community. Videos that have gone viral on social media show a party at Gurdwara Shri Darbar Sahib on November 18, allegedly organized by Sayed Abu Bakar Qureshi, CEO of Project Management Unit for Kartarpur Sahib Corridor.
Profound dismay as Sayed Abu Bakar Qureshi, CEO PMU Kartarpur Corridor, organizes a non-vegetarian party in Gurdwara Shri Darbar Sahib complex which was attended by 80 people including Mohammad Sharukh, Deputy Commissioner Narowal, District Police Officer Narowal also.
