A statement issued to the media states that the visitors expressed profound sorrow over the physical damage to the property as well as the symbolic disrespect to the memory of soldiers upon seeing the dilapidated condition of Jinnah House.

They questioned the disregard towards the sacrifices of their fathers while emphasizing that the fallout of the riots was “deeply distressing” according to the statement that adds that the visitors also demanded accountability of those involved in the incident from authorities.
