Operation Sindoor: Pakistan on Tuesday launched a brutal artillery attack targeting Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch sector. Among the hardest-hit locations was the Central Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib, where three Indian civilians were killed in the shelling.
The deceased have been identified as Bhai Amrik Singh Ji, a raagi Singh known for his devotional service, Bhai Amarjeet Singh, and Bhai Ranjit Singh.
Sukhbir Singh Badal, President of the Shiromani Akali Dal, issued a statement. “Strongly condemn the inhuman attack by Pakistani forces on the sacred Central Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib in Poonch, in which three innocent Gursikhs... lost their lives,” Badal posted on social media.
“We demand that the martyrs be honored for their sacrifice and that the bereaved families receive adequate compensation... The Sikhs have always been, and will continue to be, the sword arm of the country,” he added.
