Amritsar, July 14

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh has slammed the Congress government for not incorporating the name of Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in the challan recently presented by the newly formed SIT in sacrilege cases.

Addressing mediapersons here on Wednesday, he said: “Is it not an attempt to politicise the matter that is sensitive to the community?”

He called upon panthic organisations to hold protests against the move, which was aimed at appeasing a section with an eye on the Assembly polls, and announced that a meeting in this regard would be held at Takht Damdama Sahib on July 16.

He demanded justice in the desecration cases. — TNS
