KARACHI: Hindus of northern Sindh tore the most sacred book of Sikh religion, Guru Granth Sahib in Pano Aqil town in Sukkur district, local Sikhs told Daily Times on Friday.
The incident took place on June 18, 2013 and despite passage of more than two weeks, police have not registered the case, due to the influence of a Hindu parliamentarian of ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP). The local Hindus are the MPA's relatives, Sikhs alleged.
According to details, on the night of June 18, some people entered a local Hindu temple of Nanak (Guru Nanak) Panthi (believers) Hindus in Pako Aqil town and tore the holy book into pieces.
