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."
