Dal Khalsa chief Harpal Singh Cheema in a press statement has expressed grief over the loss of human lives in a grenade Bomb blast at Nirankari Bhavan near Amritsar.

Admitting that they were clueless about the justification of the attack by the perpetrators, he said that there is more to it than meets the eye after a 34-year Sikh-Nirankari hiatus.

“The government, the police and investigative agencies should probe this attack without any prejudice and without looking at it from the prism of Sikh-Nirankari clash of 1978.

Till the identity of the attackers is not ascertained, the motive behind the attack will remain dubious and all leaders of all parties must refrain from accusations and slander.

He deplored the irresponsible reporting by the electronic media on the incident.

Meanwhile the Punjab CM has handed over the probe to the National Investigation Agency and also refused to accuse any one as responsible for the incident till investigation is complete. Joginder Kaur, the head of the Punjab unit of the Sant Nirankari Mission has stated that, “we have no enmity with the Sikhs.”
