Sikhs protest against alleged blasphemy

NEW DELHI: A large number of Sikhs staged a protest at Model Town here on Thursday against alleged desecration of their holy book.

The protesters gathered near a gurdwara demanding action against a landlord who had thrown the holy book belonging to his tenant from the second storey of his building in Model Town on Wednesday. The incident allegedly took place when the landlord was forcibly evicting his tenant.

Taking the matter seriously, the protesters gathered on Thursday demanding arrest of the landlord. They also blocked traffic on G.T. Karnal Road and allegedly pelted stones at buses, damaging four vehicles.
