Meanwhile, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Gobind Singh Longowal has also condemned the incident and said that the Pakistani government should take strong action against the people involved and ensure the safety of Sikhs living in Pakistan.
An angry group of local residents pelted stones at Gurdwara Nankana Sahib in Pakistan earlier today.
As per initial reports, the group was led by the family of a boy who had allegedly abducted Sikh girl Jagjit Kaur, the daughter of gurdwara’s pathi.
Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa shared the video which, he said, showed an angry Muslim mob shouting anti-Sikh slogans outside Nankana Sahib.
“Live footage from Nankana Sahib where an angry Muslim mob is outside Gurdwara Sahib and raising anti-Sikh slogans,” Sirsa said in a tweet.
