Gargaj said the tragic incident had reminded him of the March 2000 massacre at Chittisinghpura in Kashmir in which 35 Sikhs were killed and the truth was yet to come to light.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami said the act was inhuman and brutal. He said spiritual and humanitarian teachings did not promote such violence.
