Amritsar (Punjab), Sep30: Pakistan continues to grow as an increasingly hostile country for the religious minorities. In one of its repressive decisions lately, it had decided to change the site of the proposed Guru Nanak Dev International University from Nankana Sahib to village Muridke of District Shekhupura which is home to the headquarters of Lashkar-e- Taiba, a banned terror outfit. It was a major blow to the Sikh community as Nankana Sahib which is the birth place of founder of Sikhism and first Sikh master Guru Nanak Dev, Nankana Sahib is the only apt destination for it. Sikhs, who are enthusiastic to celebrate Guru Nanak’s 550th anniversary at Nankana Sahib in 2019, were extremely hurt by the changed decision.After Pakistani Sikh masses strongly opposed the move and staged protests asking the government to roll back its decision, the government, for now has said that the university will be built at the birthplace of Nankana Sahib only. As radical Islamic groups gain strength in the country, the non-Muslims find the society getting increasingly intolerant and with religious liberty under siege, Pakistan has become one of the most intolerant countries around the world. Pakistan has repeatedly been accused and exposed for its hostile policies for its minorities. Sikhs have time and again found them in situations where there have suffered the state persecution at the behest of army and Punjabi leadership.
