On Friday, a number of people surrounded the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib to hold a demonstration against Sikhs, raising slogans vowing to re-name Nankana Sahib to Ghulam-e-Mustafa.
The incident generated outrage on social media with people calling on the authorities to act and arrest the culprits so the religious harmony of the area can be maintained.

The altercation happened on a minor incident at a tea-stall,” the FO spokesperson said, and added that the district administration “immediately intervened” and arrested the accused, who are now in custody.
