Guru Granth Sahib Jio bhul chuk muaf_/\_shoes should be removed atey Sikhs picking up torn Sukhmani Sahib ang should kneel ji?_/\_
It was RSS who done it squire!
Don’t be so facetious. The reason why Surinder Kaur mentions the RSS as a possible suspect is because of their track record and motivation. It is not unsound to round up the usual suspects when it comes to criminals.
Who is being facetious? The Rss are a joke! Whoever did this in whatever guise should be condemned
Typical of the Punjab Police, arresting minors and the letting the real culprits go free. These are all dogs for the Badals hunting down the innocent taking attention of the public elsewhere. They have stooped so low as to divide the communities – when Quran Sharif was desecrated all Sikhs and Muslims stood together – they respect Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the otherway round. This is something that the RSS and the Badals cannot accept – lets part them whether it means arresting minors…..
Please be carefull with the arrests of these minor children by police. They might have their own agenda to blame muslims and start age old muslim sikh divide. Find out in the first place who put those gutkas outside before jumping to any conclusions. That poor kid may not even know what he was doing.Another thing how come police so far haven’t arrested any one who desecrated the Guru granth sahib ji.
