India has strongly condemned the demolition of a 125-year-old historic gurdwara in Pakistan's Punjab province, describing it as a "despicable act" that reflects the continued neglect of minority religious heritage. The shrine, considered significant to the Sikh community, was reportedly razed during redevelopment work, sparking outrage among Sikh groups and heritage activists. India urged Pakistan to ensure the protection, preservation, and respectful maintenance of Sikh religious sites and other minority places of worship. The incident has renewed concerns over the safety of religious heritage in Pakistan, with calls for accountability and stronger measures to safeguard historically important sites. (PC: X)
