India demand to change Pak's decision:

India has asked Pakistan to change its arbitrary decision, which deprives the Sikh community of the right to manage the affairs of the Holy Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib. Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Shrivastava said, 'It is a wrong decision to manage Kartarpur with the Sikh community. We demand that Pakistan immediately withdraw this decision for Kartarpur Sahib.

"We have seen reports about Pakistan transferring the management and maintenance of the Holy Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib away from the Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee, a body run by the minority Sikh Community, to the administrative control of the Evacuee Trust Property Board, a non-Sikh body," the MEA said.
