“8 दिन पहले ना पाकिस्तान में सवा सौ साल पुराना गुरुद्वारा ढा दिया गया”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent news reports confirm that the roughly 125-year-old Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Farooqabad, Punjab province, Pakistan was demolished on the night of June 24, 2026 — exactly 8 days before the July 2 broadcast. The demolition was carried out by a local businessman without authorization, India's MEA condemned it, and Pakistan's Punjab government ordered an inquiry and restoration. The anchor's claim matches the reported age, location, and timing.
