Navjot Sidhu prays at Faridkot gurdwara for exemplary punishment to those behind 2015 sacrilege incident

Chandigarh, November 6

Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday visited a gurdwara in Faridkot and prayed that those involved in the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib in 2015 be given exemplary punishment that would be "a deterrent for generations to come".

This came a day after Sidhu withdrew his resignation as Punjab Congress chief and targeted his party-led state government over the sacrilege case.

Sidhu offered prayers at the Burj Jawahar Singh Wala gurdwara in Faridkot from where a copy of the Guru Granth Sahib was stolen in 2015.

"Ardas at Gurudwaara saheb Burj Jawahar Singh wala, Bargari .... Praying for exemplary punishment for those involved in the sacrilege of Guru Granth saheb ji ... should be a deterrent for generations to come!" Sidhu said in a tweet.

He also interacted with locals at the gurdwara over the issue.

During a press conference on Friday, Sidhu had questioned the Charanjit Singh Channi-led state government over the steps taken for the delivery of justice in sacrilege cases and making public a special task force report in drug cases in the past 50 days. --- PTI
