ISLAMABAD, Oct 2: Pakistan is committed to ensure safety and security to Sikh religious places, says Pakistan's High Commissioner in India Aziz Ahmed Khan.

He was talking with a 10-member delegation of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. They also discussed the incident at Nankana Sahib Gurdwara, the birth place of Guru Nanak, Indian dailyThe Tribune reported.

Aziz Ahmad Khan informed the delegation that no damage had been done to the historic gurdwara and assured that all steps would be taken to protect the sanctity of all gurdwaras in Pakistan.

He said that the Government of Pakistan was equally concerned about the reported attack. "We are concerned because the attack is unprecedented. We told the SGPC delegation that it is a stray incident and not a communal matter."

He informed the delegation that the incident was only the work of a handful of college boys and action had been taken against them.-APP
