Curfew imposed in Sirsa after 12 injured in Dera-Sikh clash
Curfew was imposed in the town on Saturday after arson during a communal clash between Sikhs and followers of Dera Sacha Sauda.
The 12 people injured in the violence here in the evening include Sant Gurmeet Singh Trilokiwala, head of another local dera and member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), whose condition is reported to be critical.
The district administration has called 15 units of paramilitary force
to maintain law and order. All the injured are under treatment in a
government hospital.
The town was on the edge since November 19, when a man named Jasvir
Singh was injured in a Sikh-dera clash at Jiwan Nagar locality here.
Sukhwinder Singh Khalsa, president of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar
Sabha, had called for shutdown over the matter here on Saturday but
deferred the plan for a fortnight after speaking with the district
administration.
Khalsa had asked the government to withdraw the Z-plus security of
Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and restrict his followers from
guarding his every route. On Saturday, the violence broke out when
suspected dera men attacked Sikhs returning from a gurdwara and torched
seven vehicles.
A heavy police force was deployed and curfew imposed but both group remained on the streets to confront each other.

Sd. Hardeep Singh Chadha, Son in Law of Sd. Harvinder singh Sarna, died on Saturday, in a farm house in Delhi. He was the younger brother of Ponty Chadha, who also died in the tragic incident.

Harvinder Singh Sarna.
"They both had separate businesses and Hardeep had a distillery plant
and paper mill in Hargobindpur in Punjab," Harvinder Singh Sarna said.
Harvinder Singh Sarna is the younger brother of Paramjeet Singh Sarna, who is
president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC).
Paramjeet Singh Sarna also supported the version of his younger brother. "There was no property dispute between them," he said.

Dikshit denies govt hand in violence
Chief minister Sheila Dikshit has promised action against people
involved in a clash last week outside the Rakabganj gurdwara and
rubbished suggestions that her government had a hand in the violence.
"It was a clash between two factions of Sikhs, which is being given political colour by some for their vested interests," she said about the clash
on Thursday at the central Delhi gurdwara which left several people
injured.
Her comments on Saturday comes after her Punjab counterpart Parkash
Singh Badal wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, alleging that a move
by her government to amend the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee
election procedure was "unjustified" and "provocative" and had led to
the violence.
Dikshit was in Ludhiana, Punjab, to attend an event organised by the
Nehru Sidhant Kendra Trust to celebrate the birth anniversary of the
former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
The chief minister said it was not the first time that an amendment
had been proposed in the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee Act,
adding that the matter would be taken up in the Assembly session. "The
Badal government should not interfere in any elections taking place in
Delhi," she added.
She referred to Nehru as a great visionary and a committed soldier who participated in the freedom struggle.
She described Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi as a leader of
the future, saying it was premature to comment whether he would be the
prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 elections.
