Cong MPs from Punjab raise issue of forced conversion of Sikhs in Pakistan with Sushma Swaraj

Chandigarh, Dec 21 (UNI) A delegation of Congress Members of Parliament from Punjab, led by Punjab Congress President Sunil Jakhar, today raised the issue of forced conversion of Sikhs in Pakistan with Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Delegation members, including Mr Jakhar and Mr Ravneet Singh Bittu, said they were seriously concerned about the forced conversion of Sikhs in Pakistan and solicited Ministry’s urgent intervention in the matter to protect the identity of the Sikh community settled there.
Mr Jakhar said after Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh raised the issue, the External Affairs Minister has already directed the Indian High Commission in Pakistan to take it up at the highest level with Islamabad. “However, we believe the matter to be extremely grave, therefore, it should be taken up personally with the Pakistani authorities without delay by Minister herself,” he added.
