Punjab: SAD condemns "attacks" on Sikh pilgrims in hill states

Chandigarh, Mar 19 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday condemned the repeated incidents of attacks on Sikh pilgrims and other tourists from Punjab by "mobs" in Himachal Pradesh and other hill states and demanded strict action against the culprits.
Senior leader Daljit Singh Cheema, while making a call to all to maintain peace and communal harmony, said “ such incidents are a result of a sustained "misinformation and hatred" campaign against the Sikh community by anti-social elements and agencies. "Their sole aim is to disturb peace and communal harmony in the region to realise their ulterior political motives,” he said.
He urged the Union Home Minister to hold a meeting with Chief Ministers of all hill states on the sensitive issue as the happenings were extremely provocative and were affecting cordial relations between peoples of neighbouring states.
He said efforts should also be made to ensure safety and security of all pilgrims and tourists.
Cheema said simultaneously a mechanism should be evolved to educate the people and make them aware of the religious symbols and traditions and consequences of such provocative incidents. UNI GS SSP
