The Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) has lodged protest against the statement. The Sikh community in Pakistan and the gurdwara management committee strongly condemn these words,” said PSGPC president Satwant Singh. As far as Maharaja Ranjit Singh is concerned, we don’t have any single instance from his 42-year-long regime that he ever committed any atrocity against any person. Also, Gopal Singh Chawla, a Khalistan sympathiser, said in a video that Maharaja Ranjit Singh was their hero and words against him are not tolerable. Maharaja Ranjit Singh never differentiated between people on the basis of religion,” he said.
