Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab leader and MP Malvinder Singh Kang (Anandpur Sahib) has written letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, urging them to stop the demolition of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar in Shillong.

The Meghalaya government has recommended the demolition of the 200-year-old Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar (established in 1874), located in the Punjabi Colony in Bara Bazar, Shillong, along with other religious sites in the area. This recommendation has caused widespread resentment and anguish among the Sikh community residing in Shillong and beyond.

In his letter to PM Modi, Kang emphasized that Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of the deep historical and cultural ties the Sikh community has shared with the region for generations. Its demolition would hurt the religious sentiments of Sikhs and erode a part of our shared national heritage. The Sikh community has significantly contributed to the growth and progress of Shillong, and their religious and cultural sites deserve protection and preservation. Kang urged the Prime Minister to intervene immediately to prevent the demolition of this historic Gurdwara Sahib, stating that the government has a duty to uphold the religious sentiments of all communities and ensure the protection of places of worship.
