Amritsar, January 29 – Bloody clash between two warring groups of Sikh community reported inside the Gurdwara ‘Pahuwind’ premises at border town of Tarn Taran when one of the group (management of Gurdwara) was adamant to remove the posters of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawalle.
According to police, an incident took place on January 28, when a group of Sikh radicals put posters of Jarnail Singh Bhindrawalla at various spots of Gurdwara which were highly objected to by the Gurdwara management led by Retired Colonel Harsimran Singh.
Police said that Situation took ugly turn in the Gurdwara when posters of Bhindrawala were pasted at various spots in the Gurdwara premises which were objected to by the Gurdwara management. The management removed all the posters forthwith. The incident of poster removal was captured through video mobile recording and widely circulated on social media.
After seeing the video of posters removal by the management led by Colonel Harsimarn Singh, Sikh radicals all over the Punjab started to assemble in the Gurdwara premises and repasted the posters.
Heavy police force led by nearby police Station Kachha Pakka village led by SHO Parwinder Singh reached the spot and saved Colonel Harwinder Singh at eleventh hour when a heavy group of Sikh radicals entered the Gurdwara management office and going to attack him. It was a tough time for police to give an escape route to Singh as Radicals were heading towards him to attack him. Many police personnel and Task Force members of Gurdwara management were injured in a bid to save Singh and finally he was shifted to outside Gurdwara to some safer unknown place by police.
However, the Colonel claimed that he was having great respect for the Sant Jarnial Singh Bhidnrawalla as posters spotted some unhygienic places in the Gurdwara as a reason removed.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Tarn Taran ,Preet Inder Singh said that dialogue between the two groups were arranged and matter was amicably resolved. Now there was no tension in and around Gurdwara as both the groups hugged each other and footfall of devotees was normal like other days.
