Nakodar, Aug 26: To pressurise the cops to book renowned Punjabi singer and Dera Murad Shah chairman Gurdas Maan for his controversial statement, hundreds of Sikh activists headed by Satkar Committee on Thursday assembled in a Gurdwara here and later proceeded to Jalandhar to block vehicular traffic to raise the demand of registration of a case against the famous singer.
To maintain peace and communal harmony, the Nakodar Police registered a case under section 295A of IPC on the charges of hurting religious sentiments of Sikh community by Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan. Confirming this to UNI here Thursday, SSP (Rural) Navden Singla told that FIR was registered in City Police Station Nakodar on the complaint of Satkar Committee member Paramjit Singh. When contacted Nakodar SDM Poonam Singh said all required preventive steps are being taken to maintain communal harmony and peace in the Nakodar Sub Division. Notably, Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan had landed in a controversy as members of the Satkar Committee had lodged a police complaint after his video had gone viral wherein he was heard saying that the chief of a Dera and Nakodar Sain Laddi Shah was from the descendants of third Sikh Guru Amar Dass. Gurdas Maan had offered an apology in this matter. The committee members had demanded that a case be lodged against the singer or else they would lodge a demonstration on the issue across Punjab.
