Ropar, December 17
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami today demanded a minimum sentence of life imprisonment for committing sacrilege in the state. Dhami said the desecration at gurdwaras had been unabated because the accused were not taken to task.
Dhami said those arrested for sacrilege incidents were let off by terming them as mentally ill or drug addicts.
Meanwhile, SGPC chief has urged the Prime Minister to announce a national holiday on the martyrdom day of Sahibzadas. He appealed to the CM to order closer of all wine shops on December 27, the martyrdom day. — OC
