Amritsar, June 15 : Sikh Diaspora has demanded the Pakistan Government to maintain transparency while using donations either for setting up the International Guru Nanak Dev University or for the up keeping of Sikh shrines located in that country.

The Sikh Diaspora were of the view that after the Pakistan Government's announcement of renovation of the shrines, the Sikhs living around the world have been sending huge donation to Pakistan for up keeping of the Gurdwaras. According to sources, contrary to the reality, the Pakistan Government is taking credit for the work being done for the Sikh community.
