Speaking to ANI, Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Hardeep Singh Puri, said "These are wanton acts of vandalism,arson and stone pelting against one of the holiest Sikh shrines. If any more proof was needed on the state of minorities in Pakistan then this is it."

Meanwhile, Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal took to twiter and wrote: "Persecution of minorities in Pak is a reality. Today’s attack on Gurdwara Sri #NankanaSahib has shown its horrible face. I want to ask Captain Amarinder Singh and Congress how can they oppose PM Narendra Modi’s noble humanitarian gesture of giving rights to such persecuted minorities!"

In another tweet, Harsimrat Kaur Badal targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said "Cong leader Rahul Gandhi’s refusal to condemn stoning of Gurdwara Nankana Sahib and threat to the very existence of holy shrine reveals his anti-Sikh face. Rahul working overtime to mislead people on CAA but has no time to take on Pakistan and expose atrocities it's committing against Sikhs."
