Lahore (Pakistan), Aug 30 (ANI): A Sikh girl, who was missing for a number of days, has surfaced on August 29 after she was forcibly converted to Islam and made to marry a Muslim man in Nankana Sahib area of Lahore. This 19-year-old girl is the daughter of a granthi (priest) of Gurudwara Tambu Sahib and was converted to Islam at a gun point. Girl’s family said that they will self immolate in-front of Pakistan's Punjab governor’s house if the girl was not released. The family members also pleaded before Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosla for her safe return. The members of the Sikh community in Pakistan have condemned this horrific incident and conducted a meeting at Gurudwara Nankana Sahib. They have decided to organise a protest on August 30 at Governor House while an international conference related to Kartarpur Corridor is scheduled to be held there. President of Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and Akali Dal leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa also condemned the incident. He urged PM Modi and External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar to take up the matter. In Pakistan, many such incidents are regularly reported where the minority Hindu, Sikh and Christian girls are forcibly converted to Islam and married to Muslim men.
