Moreover, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry also took to Twitter and asked the Designer and the model to apologise to the Sikh Community. According to him, the Kartar Pur Sahib is a religious symbol and not a Film set.

One of the users wrote: “If the dancers dancing in the Badshahi Mosque had been severely punished, the sanctity of other places of worship would not have been violated today.” Another one wrote, “If this had been done in the mosque, a case would have been registered and this lady would have been arrested.”
