Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday said the state government has made it a mission to hunt down all perpetrators involved in the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib to uncover the plot aimed at giving a bad name to the state.
He said that the government would ensure that the guilty was stringently punished.
Appealing to protesting Sikhs to maintain peace and harmony, the Deputy Chief Minister said, "We have to thwart the plot by the perpetrators, who wanted to disturb peace and harmony of the state."
Earlier, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar had appealed to the agitating Sikhs to maintain peace and harmony, adding that once peace was restored, the Punjab Government would hunt down all perpetrators and punish them.
He asked the Sikh community to stick to their basic principles - peace and harmony and wellbeing of the mankind.
