Strongly condemning the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, the five high priests of Takhts have asked all opposition parties to join hands to ensure exemplary punishment to the culprits.
The clergy, who attended the meeting at Akal Takht Secratariat, included Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh, Takht Patna Sahib Jathedar Giani Ranjit Singh, Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib Giani Raghbir Singh and Head Priest of Akal Takht Giani Malkit Singh. Takht Hazur Sahib Jathedar Giani Kulwant Singh participated from Nanded online.
Terming the incident unfortunate, Giani Harpreet Singh said said it was the responsibility of the central government to take action against the culprits.
“It was unfortunate to politicise the death of innocent farmers who were contesting for their rights. We ask all politicians across the party line to unite so that the culprits are punished”, he said. — TNS
