Gopal Chawla, who is also a close aide of Jamaat ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, has alleged the land in Nankana Sahib that belongs to Guru Nanak Dev was being grabbed by the rich by paying money and there was a collusion by ETPB of Pakistan.
He claimed that that authorities have remained silent despite repeated complaints made against the misuse of the land.
He even claimed that the ETPB of Pakistan has been aiding and shielding rich people who have encroached the land of Gurudwara Nakana Sahib.
He even alleged that ETPB chairman Aamer Ahmed is colluding with the land grabbers.
"I had made a humble request that in Nankana Sahib there is full loot (of land) and I had given proof to Aamer sahib that a lot of atrocities are taking place. Rich people who can give Rs 2 lakh, Rs 3 lakh, Rs 4 lakh, Rs 5 lakh, they are getting their houses made and the poor who have to build on two marla, three marla, there is no law for them," he was quoted as saying by ANI.
"The small people, who cannot give the money, is there no law for them? Will the land belonging to Guru Nanak will be given to the rich and not poor. The rights of the poor in Nankana Sahib are being crushed by those who can pay Rs 4 lakh, Rs 5 lakh," he said.
