CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal president Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal today wrote to the Maharashtra Chief Minister asking him to take effective steps for social awareness for better popular understanding in his state about the role of the great Guru Sahiban and the Sikh community for the country.
“This has become necessary in view of the alarming development in the form of lynching of three Sikh youth in a case of mistaken identity in Maharashtra the other day. That was indeed very painful especially in a state which is world famous as home to Takhat Shri Huzoor Sahib Nanded Sahib, with sacred and historic connect with Dasam Patshah Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji. “
Mr Badal has also urged the CM to offer immediate ex gratia grant as well as a govt job each to the survivors and to any eligible member of the family of the deceased.
