Srinagar: Chairman of All Party Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC), Jagmohan Singh Raina on Thursday appealed separatist leadership to withdraw the Nov 14 protest programme in view of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birthday.
Raina in a statement issued to press said, “I on behalf of Sikh community appeal separatist leaders to withdraw the Lal Chowk chalo call keeping in view of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birthday on Nov 14.”
He said that “Authorities would likely impose restrictions on Nov 14 in view of Lal Chowk Chalo march. The forces won’t allow us (Sikh Community) to throng Gurudwaras amid restrictions. Thus, we appeal resistance leadership to withdraw the protest programme on this day.”
He said that Sikhs have been following the calendar till now as any other Kashmiri . But this time we are sharing our concern in respect of our religious function to celebrate gurpurab of our guru, Guru Nanak Dev ji. (KNS)
