Sikhs call off protest against Maken after his apology

Sikhs called off a protest against Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Maken here on Tuesday after he apologized to them for releasing a poster in which he was shown along with the other revered gurus.

The Sikhs, led by their political outfit, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), had planned to protest, as they had taken it as an affront to their religious sentiments.

Party officials said the protest was called off after Maken apologised for the incident, saying he never meant to hurt religious sentiments.
