  1. Indeed great crimes have been committed by Indian government against Sikh community.
    It is Wrong to tarnish Pakistan with the same label due to odd minor incidents of personal nature.
    Pakistan’s government has made an example of taking care of minorities especially Sikh. In the British Partition gate injustice was done with Sikhs. They were relocated to India and Punjab was divided with their religious shrines separated from majority of the population.
    There are many Sikh heritage building in Pakistan which fell into wrong hands and should be returned to Sikh trusts for their protection. Same should also be done with Hindus and Buddha shrines.
