He also called upon members of all social and religious organisations to gather at 9 am on Saturday at Gaushala Chowk from where a protest march will be carried out through the city to register public outrage.
Shiv Sena Punjab spokesperson Vipan Sharma, vice-president Ravi Dutt, city president Ankur Bedi, along with Bubby Goswami, Aman Kumar Kaka, Vinay Kaushal, Manoj Tandon, Tarsem Lal, and Baljit Suman, were also present.
