Sikh community condemns Orissa attacks
WSN Network

Amritsar: The Sikh community has collectively condemned the attacks on Christians in various parts of India, mostly carried out by Hindutva terror agents. A meeting of five Sikh high priests, representing the top clergy of the religion, at the Akal Takht secretariat on September 9 condemned the attacks on Christians, particularly the sacrilege of churches in Orissa.

The Sikh community itself has been a victim of sacrilege of religious places, foremost being the Indian army attack on Golden Temple, Amritsar.

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh said attacks on minorities and their places of worship were most reprehensible. Incidentally, Punjab's ruling Akali Dal has an alliance with the BJP which is virtually defending the attacks on minorities and whose sister organisations are directly involved.
