How did the BJP leader react?

Expressing strong disapproval of the reported incident involving the purported consumption of meat within the sacred premises, Sirsa, in a post on X, has called on the Pakistan government to promptly take action against those responsible.

Sirsa on X said, “I strongly condemn the sacrilegious incident involving meat consumption within the sacred premises of Gurudwara Sri Kartarpur Sahib. It’s particularly disheartening that the Kartarpur Gurdwara committee administration was involved in this.”

Why is Kartarpur Sahib so significant?

Kartarpur is believed to be one of the holiest places for Sikhs as the Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev preached there during the last eighteen years of his life. Thus, after partition, the Indian people could only visit the Gurdwara following the travel terms and conditions laid by both the countries.
