Patiala, September 1

Leaders of the Youth Akali Dal (YAD) today burnt an effigy of Harish Rawat, the Congress in-charge for Punjab affairs, in the city over his ‘Panj Pyare’ remark.

The protest was led by YAD national spokesperson Amit Singh Rathi, and Youth Akali Dal (Rural) president Satwinder Singh Satta. Rathi said Guru Gobind Singh formed ‘Panj Piyaras’ (five beloved ones) at Anandpur Sahib. “Rawat has hurt sentiments of Sikhs by comparing the panj pyaras with working presidents of Navjot Sidhu. A case for outraging religious sentiments should be registered against Rawat.” — TNS
