The Shiv Sena today denounced the latest incident of alleged desecration of Sikh holy book Guru Granth Sahib in Punjab.
The incident was reported from Jalandhar yesterday.
Presided by the outfit's Youth 'Parbhari' (in-charge) Happy Mahant, a meeting of the Sena, held at the Hanumangarhi temple complex here, demanded the immediate arrest of the culprits behind the incident and threatened to launch a protest if it was not met, a release said.
Terming the Akali Dal's politics "religion-centric", the meeting alleged that these pre-poll incidents of desecration, one after the other, pointed towards a "method in the madness", besides raising "serious questions" on the style of functioning of the SAD-BJP regime in Punjab.
Maintaining that scriptures of all the faiths must be respected equally, the meeting demanded the immediate arrest of the culprits.
