Nankana Sahib Gurdwara attack: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemns
New Delhi/UNI: A day after the mob attack on Nankana Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday called the attack is 'reprehensible', and added that "bigotry is a dangerous, age old poison that knows no borders".
Taking to twitter, the Congress leader said, "the attack on Nankana Sahab is reprehensible and must be condemned unequivocally. Bigotry is a dangerous, age old poison that knows no borders. Love + mutual respect + understanding is its only known antidote".

We call upon the Government of Pakistan to take immediate steps to ensure the safety, security, and welfare of the members of the Sikh community".
