In a complaint to commissioner of police Ishwar Chander, the party's state spokesperson Navjot Dahia said that the remarks had hurt the sentiments of millions of countrymen who consider both their national heroes.

Rajinder Singh Johal, Jaswinder Billa, Jagdish Jassal and Raj Kumar Raju were among the prominent persons present on the occasion.
