The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) summoned the Pakistani Charge d’Affaires on Tuesday to convey its “deep concern at the incident of desecration of the sanctity of Gurdwara Shri Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur by a Pakistani model and a clothing brand”.

“It was conveyed that this reprehensible incident has deeply hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community in India and worldwide. Such continued incidents of desecration and disrespect of places of religious worship of the minority communities in Pakistan highlight the lack of respect for the faith of these communities,” said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.

“It was further conveyed that we expect Pakistani authorities to sincerely investigate this matter and take action against those involved,” he added.
