India, July 2 -- The demolition of a 125-year-old Sikh gurdwara in Pakistan's Punjab province has triggered strong reactions from both the Sikh community and the Indian government. The historic Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib in Farooqabad, near Lahore, was allegedly demolished by a local businessman without the required permission, prompting protests from local Sikhs and diplomatic criticism from India.

While Pakistan has ordered an inquiry and promised to restore the shrine, New Delhi has described the incident as a targeted act against a revered place of worship and called for strict action against those responsible.
