Taking a serious view of the matter of distribution of ‘parshad’ in ‘dona’ (paper bowls) made of advertisement material and wrappers of tobacco products in the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara located in Pakistan, Himachal BJP in-charge and former Rajya Sabha MP Avinash Rai Khanna has written to Union External Affairs Minister Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in this regard.

Through the letter, Khanna has demanded strict action against the culprits. According to a release issued in this regard from Khanna’s office on Sunday, Khanna has termed it as a lousy handiwork of the Government of Pakistan. Khanna said Pakistan had been targeting religious places of minorities over the decades due to its poor mentality. He said distributing ‘prashad’ in ‘donas’ made of paper with tobacco advertisements on it in the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara is sacrilegious and such ‘donas’ should be banned.

Khanna urged the Ministry of External Affairs that the security of religious places of minorities should be ensured by putting appropriate pressure on the Government of Pakistan. He said the ministry should ensure that the management of the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara was given to the SGPC.
