The Ministry of External Affairs has strongly condemned the reported demolition of the 125-year-old Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib in Farooqabad, Pakistan, calling it a "targeted act of vandalism" against a revered Sikh shrine. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged the Pakistan government to conduct a swift investigation, bring those responsible to justice, and restore the demolished portions of the gurdwara at the earliest. The ministry also said the incident reflected a continuing pattern of attacks on religious minorities and their places of worship in Pakistan. The statement came after reports alleged that unidentified persons demolished parts of the historic shrine during the night of June 24–25. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee has also sought the Centre's intervention.
