FATEHGARH SAHIB: To lodge their protest over killing of an 'innocent' Sikh in Mumbai by Dera Sacha Saucha chief bodyguard, the Sikhs blocked the train in Fatehgarh Sahib. Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar(presidium) senior member Harpal Singh Cheema, SGPC members Karnail Singh Panjoli, Ravinder Singh Khalsa, Surinder Kaur along with other protesters  staged dharna on the railway track in Fatehgarh Sahib and blocked the train.

 

They raised slogans against the Dera head and sought his immediate arrest.

While addressing the gathering Harpal Singh Cheema said that if the Dera chief was not arrested his party would participate in 'Rail Roko' programme announcement of Damdami Taksal on June 25. Karnail Singh Panjoli said that next course of action would be announced on June 25 evening as per the feeling of Sikh community.  The blockade was lifted when Executive Magistrate assured the protesters to convey their feeling to higher authorities.

Reports of blocking trains also came from Sangrur district in Punjab.
