In a press release issued on Wednesday, preachers Panthpreet Singh, Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale, Satnam Singh Chander, Sukhjit Singh Khosa, Harjit Singh Dhipali and Nirmal Singh said these developments had exposed the anti-Sikh face of the state government.
They also said that the government was trying to throttle the voices of dissent by using lathicharge on people who were protesting peacefully.
