Desecration cases: Radicals to protest in Bargari on June 1

BATHINDA: The Sikh radicals will get together at Bargari in Faridkot district on June 1, demanding arrest of those involved in desecrations incidents in the state.

“During campaign, the Congress had promised to arrest those involved in the desecration incidents, but nothing has been done,” said Sikh preacher and parallel ‘jathedar’ (high priest) of Takht Damdama Sahib, Talwandi Sabo, Baljit Singh Daduwal in a press conference on Thursday. He added that while culprits involved in desecration of Guru Granth Sahib at Bargari in 2015 are yet to be nabbed, as many 17 incidents have been reported during the tenure of the new government.

Daduwal also slammed Shiromani Akali Dal over the issue of gurdawara Gian Godri in Haridwar.

“SAD wants to project its panthic face to take political mileage by raking up the issue while Sikh organisations have been struggling for constructing the gurdwara for past many years,” he said.
