The Foreign Office has clarified that Friday's incident in Nankana Sahib, in which a number of people surrounded the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib to register their protest, was the result of an "altercation between two Muslim groups" and that it should not be portrayed as a communal issue.

"The provincial authorities in the Punjab province have informed that there was [a] scuffle in the city of Nankana Sahib today, between two Muslim groups. The altercation happened on a minor incident at a tea-stall," the FO spokesperson said in a statement issued late Friday, adding that the district administration "immediately intervened" and arrested the accused, who are now in custody.

On Friday, police had to step in amid rising tensions in Nankana Sahib after a heated debate at a tea stall threatened to blow into a big law and order issue, official sources said.

Reports said four customers while taking tea at Zaman’s stall in front of Gurdwara Janam Asthan started a conversation about his nephew, Muhammad Ehsaan, who came into the limelight a few months ago after being accused of forcing a Sikh girl to convert in order to marry her.

Zaman reportedly reacted with anger, which led to a confrontation between two groups. A small crowd gathered to raise slogans. A team of Nankana Sahib police had to intervene briskly to control the situation.

The FO press release said that "attempts to paint this incident as a communal issue are patently motivated."

"Most importantly, the Gurdwara remains untouched and undamaged. All insinuations to the contrary, particularly the claims of acts of 'desecration and destruction' [...] of the holy place, are not only false but also mischievous," it added.

The statement emphasised that the government remains committed to upholding law and order and providing security and protection to the people, especially the minorities.

"The opening of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor is a manifestation of Pakistan's special care extended to the minorities."

I'm sorry but what? This is blatantly a cover-up. This was not a clash between two Muslim groups but a communal attack led by a man and his family/friends.

Has he been arrested for inciting religious hatred and threatening acts of terror?
What about the blasphemy law, in this case using the name of the Prophet(saws) to incite people to murder and arson!
No nothing......

New videos show that main suspect Md. Imran did go inside Nankana Sahib shrine and was inciting the mob inside. Police took 12 hours to arrive at the scene.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, literally over 40 people had died so far in the protest against CAA and these bhartis idiots are still infatuated with Pakistan. The issue had already been resolved, and the police was already protecting the Gurdawara, but hey I am sure your gangu brain will use this to justify CAA. Oh the disintegration of India is hilarious, these idiots are burning their own country. Carry on, dont let us or common sense stop you.

Looks like the Pak govt is just trying to sweep the issue under the carpet.

You people demolished the 4 centuries old mosque and building a temple over the ruins of it and talking about nankana sahib shrine which was untouched and undamaged by anyone.

You want to show Pak bad so that you can show yourself good to your public.

Literally nothing happened and Gangas are loosing their mind.

Of course they need to, to take attention away from their fascist actions.

Pathetic attempt at misdirection. I hope India mentions this non-event at the UN and gets laughed at, which is what tends to happen when they bring such dramatic information outside of their echo chambers.

So it's just a laughing matter for you huh? Kind of tells me how much you value Sikhs in your country.

Even your govt is saying oh it's just 2 groups fighting over a small issue at a tea stall. Just wow!

It will definitely be mentioned by India and Sikhs living in Canada, US, UK, and Australia will be organizing a massive protests in their countries.

Imran Khan is going to taste some really good medicine soon...

He's laughing, like we all are, at your deliberate overreaction to the episode. It is under control. There is no damage or injury. Civil society has unanimously declared their desire for harsh penalties to be delivered to the miscreants.

I get it that you don't really have any respect for other religions except Islam.

When few people made a cartoon of your Prophet, you guys went crazy all over the world and started protesting, burning property, and finally ended up killing the cartoonists.

Here's we're talking about pelting stones at the holiest place for Sikhs and chanting that they will rename it to Ghulam-e-Mustafa (Slave of Muhammad)

You think the issue died down...but it's just getting started now

Bull. Protests will occur in Hindutva areas, I.e. India. Hindutva is desperate to divert attention from its current wave of crime against minorities. Possibly some overseas chapters of RSS will try to take advantage too. Ordinary Sikhs in UK are aware of BJP's efforts to exploit this episode and won't worry.

Hey everyone, remember that time Pakistani military desecrated the Golden temple, shot up the place, killed hundreds of worshipers and then pretended like nothing happened?

I wonder why Indian media didn't do so much tamasha.... I mean coverage on that news story?

Wow, I think you had been watching too many Ekta Kapoors dramas, why dont you take your own advise and listen to the issues and concerns of 200 million minority in your country instead of trying to twist it. Jeez I think drinking too much of gau mutra had permanently damaged your brain which had limited capacity to begin with.
