Islamabad [Pakistan], February 3 (ANI): The recent news of taking down of the statue of Hari Singh Nalwa by the local administration in Haripur district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has hit the sentimental and religious values of the Sikh community all over, reported Pakistan Today.
Notably, the statue was erected in 2017 on the square named after the most successful general of the Sikh ruler of Punjab, Ranjit Singh.
Hari Singh Nalwa, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Sikh Khalsa Army, played a major role in the establishment of Ranjit Singh's empire and its conquests.
Furthermore, he has commanded or participated in at least twenty major and historic wars. The most important of these were the battles of Kasur, Sialkot, Attock, Multan, Kashmir, Peshawar and Jamrud in which Hari Singh Nalwa commanded and won, reported Pakistan Today.
While installing the statue, tall claims were made that religious tourism and tolerance were being promoted. However, what has been promoted today by demolishing the statue is still incomprehensible to the Sangat. (ANI)

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
