Akali leader and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia today asked the Punjab government to probe the funding of organisers of 'Referendum 2020', a campaign seeking a separate Khalistan state.

He lashed out at the organisers of 'Referendum 2020', saying it was a conspiracy hatched "in league with Pakistan's ISI" to "break the country" and separate Punjab from India.

In a statement issued today here, Majithia said, "Such a nefarious demand of secession from India was not in consonance with the tenets of Sikhism where we pray for 'Sarbat Da Bhala' and to work for communal amity and harmony."
