While social media users reacted angrily to the incident's video, the general secretary of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) gave an explanation.

"This is a Sikh shrine. Every religious place has its own decorum...We welcome everyone...We apologise if an official misbehaved...The flag on her face was not our national flag as it didn't have Ashoka Chakra. It could have been a political flag," Grewal said.
