Click to play videoNew Delhi: The CNN-IBN expose of Pakistan army grabbing land from gurudwaras rocked Indian Parliament on Friday.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded that India intervene if the Pakistan government fails to take action in the case.
New Delhi will now raise the issue through diplomatic channels with Islamabad.
CNN-IBN had on Thursday exposed how the Pakistan Evacuee Trust Property Board has sold around 150 acres of land in Lahore belonging to the historic Gurudwara Deh near the posh locality of Defence Colony in Lahore
"I share his concern and the concern of this House. I will certainly take it up with the concerned authorities in Pakistan," Foreign Minister SM Krishna replied in Rajya Sabha on Friday after BJP MP SS Ahluwalia raised the issue.
The issue was raised in Parliament by the BJP MP citing CNN-IBN's report and he asked the government to immediately intervene.
"Yesterday (Thursday) CNN-IBN showed the story and the documents," Ahluwalia said in Rajya Sabha.
"When they (Pakistan government) are snatching our property, when they are snatching our religious places, what type of rights are they giving?" asked Ahluwalia.
The Pakistani Minority Affairs Ministry has ordered a probe into how the land was sold in clear violation of the country's own regulations of not putting up for sale the property of any religious place inside the country.
A Pakistani court in Lahore on Thursday directed authorities to respond by December 21 to a petition against the sale of land attached to Sikh shrines.
But it is still not clear whether Pakistan will punish the guilty anytime soon.
Possibly, Islamabad is still waiting for New Delhi to intervene directly. But the message is clear that sanctity of religious land needs to be maintained on either sides of the divide.
