“The security of this country is our responsibility. We cannot take away the rights of legitimate citizens of the country,” he added.
Rajendra Singh Bagga of Gurdwara management committee, said: “We came from Pakistan but never felt we were outsiders.”

Bagga urged citizens to maintain peace under all circumstances.
