Strongly condemning the attack on the historic Sikh shrine, SGPC head Gobind Singh Longowal on Saturday appealed to the Pakistan government to take strict action in the matter.
“The delegation will also meet Pakistan’s Punjab Governor and Chief Minister,” he further said. He said the delegation will comprise Rajinder Singh Mehta, Roop Singh, Surjit Singh and Rajinder Singh.
“We have spoken with the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib management committee…they told us the situation is normal now,” he said.
