:dateline:In an appeal made to Sikhs living across Punjab, the Guru Granth Sahib committee led by Bhai Balbir Singh “Mucchal” has asked Singhs to collect at village Jodhpur in Tarn Taran.� The appeal was made after some followers of Noormehal’s Divya Jyoti Jagran Dera burned a saroop of Guru Granth Sahib Ji at the local Gurdwara.� The incident took place earlier this week, when the Granthi Singh was not present at the Gurdwara.
�
While a case has been registered against 10 persons, no arrests have been made so far. �Members of the committee feel that the Government might be shielding the culprits.
�
The Satkar Committee has stated that this heinous crime was carried out by a local family, which is now being protected by the police.� It was stated that the family was upset after Singhs had earlier disallowed them to carry out their “naam charcha” as per the orders of Akal Takht Sahib and the state.
