Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s forefathers laid the foundation of the Golden Temple in Amritsar. That bit of information came from none other than Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at an informal meet of the eight SAARC leaders here Wednesday evening.
Manmohan Singh told other leaders that Gilani was “looked upon with respect as he has a number of spiritual followers in India”.
“His forefathers had laid the foundation of Golden Temple in Amritsar and the Sikhs population is aware of this fact,” Manmohan Singh told leaders of the delegations.
