Bijnor, 19 September (HS). Hundreds of people from the Sikh community, angry with the controversial statement given in America, reached the Collectorate and burnt the effigy of Rahul Gandhi and raised strong slogans against the Congress. People from the Sikh community submitted a memorandum addressed to the President to the administration. In the memorandum, they condemned Rahul Gandhi's statement and demanded that punitive action be taken against him.
The memorandum said that Rahul Gandhi has said in his controversial statement that in India, there is a ban on wearing religious identity of Sikh community like turban and Kada, which is insulting and untrue for any community. Holding Congress responsible for the Sikh massacre of 1984, the Sikhs have said that at present the Sikh community performs its religious duties with complete freedom in the country. A large number of people including Harjinder Kaur, Gurjeet Singh, Jitendra Singh Rana, Tarabjeet Singh, Malkit Singh and Gurnam Singh were present in this demonstration. The Sikh community clarified that they oppose the false and misleading statement of Rahul Gandhi.
