SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar is going to Mumbai tomorrow to hand over the cheque of Rs. 5 lakh to the family of Balkar Singh who was killed.
Meanwhile, Makkar has sought an appointment with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to discuss the issue of Dera Sacha Sauda.
In Amritsar, activists of various Sikh organizations under the aegis of Khalsa Action Committee today staged a protest at against the killing Balkar Singh.
In a memo to Deputy Commissioner signed by Mohkam Singh of Damdami Taksal, Kanwarpal Singh of Dal Khalsa, Gurjatinderpal Singh and others, the demonstrators urged Punjab government to ask Maharashtra government to book Gurmeet Ram Rahim along with his bodyguards in a murder case.
Earlier, they blocked the traffic at Bandari bridge for half an hour to reigster their protest. The Sikh leaders accused central as well as Haryana Congress government of failing to arrest the Dera head for his alleged blasphemous acts. A similar protest was also held at Hoshiarpur.
The Dera chief had invited wrath of Sikh community a few months back after he allegedly tried to imitate the dress and activities of the tenth Sikh spiritual leader Guru Gobind Singh.
