Ranjit Singh Statue

The restored statue of the first ruler of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, which was earlier damaged by religious extremists, was unveiled at Kartarpur Sahib on Wednesday in the presence of over 450 visiting Indian Sikhs.

Pakistan's Punjab government said on Tuesday that it will install the restored statue of the first ruler of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, at Kartarpur Sahib on Wednesday so that visiting Sikhs from India would get to view it too.

The BJP and its frontal organisations staged a protest near the Pakistan High Commission here on Wednesday against the vandalisation of a statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the neighbouring country.

India slammed Pakistan today after a statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh was vandalised in Lahore, saying Islamabad has completely failed in its duty to prevent such attacks which are creating a "climate of fear" among the minority communities.

A nine-feet tall cold bronze statue of the first Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh was on Tuesday vandalised by an activist of the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) at the Lahore Fort in Pakistan's Punjab province, according to media reports.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday condemned the vandalisation of Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh's statue in Lahore and "strongly" urged the Pakistani government to take action against the accused.

The rally will start at 2 p.m. on Wednesday from the Barakhamba Road-Tolstoy Marg inter-section (near Ranjit Singh statue) and pass through Tolstoy Marg with demonstration at Jantar Mantar before proceeding to the prime minister's office to submit a memorandum.
