To probe the incident of sacrilege of Sikhs’ holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, in Faridkot district and its aftermath, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Thursday constituted a Judicial Commission headed by Justice (retd) Zora Singh of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
“The Commission has been mandated to ascertain the causes and circumstances which led to this incident and its subsequent fallout to get into the bottom of the entire case,” said Advisor to Chief Minister on National Affairs and Media Harcharan Bains.
He said that the Commission would conduct an enquiry into the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib in Faridkot district and enquire into the incident of firing at Kotkapura on October 14, besides looking into the matter of firing at Behbal village district Faridkot, which led to the death of two persons.
Meanwhile, the CM profusely thanked the people of the state for upholding ethos of peace, communal harmony, tolerance and brotherhood by ensuring complete peace during the ‘bandh’ in the State.
