Last week, a confrontation between two groups threatened to blow into a big law and order issue. A team of Nankana Sahib police had to intervene to control the situation. A small crowd gathered to raise slogans. The protest was led by the family of a man, Ehsan, who was accused of forcibly converting a Sikh woman, Jagjit Kaur.

They claimed that police raided their house and mistreated them during the raid. The protest ended after local officials intervened and promised to investigate the raid.

Prime Minister Imran Khan also condemned the incident and said that the recent incident in Nankana Sahib goes against his 'vision and will find zero tolerance and protection from the government including police and judiciary'.

In contrast, Modi's RSS vision supports minorities oppression & the targeted attacks against Muslims are part of this agenda. RSS goons conducting public lynchings, Muslims being violated by mobs are all not only supported by Modi Govt but Indian police leads anti-Muslim attacks
