Bajwa, Pargat seek govt sanction to prosecute Gurmeet Ram Rahim

Hindustan Times  

Partap Singh Bajwa, leader of Opposition in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, on Monday said the government has been delaying prosecution sanction in a case related to the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib registered against Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh for almost two years. While speaking in the zero hour, the LoP said the house needs longer time and more number of sittings to hold discussions on the contentious matters, such as police action against the peaceful protesters in Bargari and Behbal Kalan who were demanding action over sacrilege, the issue of availability of drugs and drug addiction, law and order and issues concerning farmers. You take close shots when members of the treasury benches address the house and long shots when opposition MLAs are speaking, which is not a fair play,” he added. Earlier, Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira also demanded extension in the house sittings.
