'Not tolerable'

Such an attack on the birthplace of Sikh founder Guru Nanak Dev is not tolerable and the perpetrators should be dealt strictly as per law and Pakistan should follow this to bring justice to the Sikh community, the Congress leader added.

People who try to destroy the religious symbols and religious places of worship of any community anywhere are not fit to be called human beings, he pointed out.

He claimed there might be a "communal conspiracy" behind the stone pelting by the crowd.
