Asserting that the Sikh community has contributed immensely to the socio-economic development of America, several organisations carried out demonstrations in the city against the shootout in Wisconsin that left seven people, including the gunmen, dead.
Jammu and Kashmir State Gurdwara Parbandhik Board President S S Wazir, who was leading the protests, called for effective measures by Washington to ensure security of Sikhs and their religious institutions.
Sikhs in border districts of Rajouri and Poonch also held protests against the incident.
