Nihangs had sabotaged the Christian program

On Sunday, the ongoing Christian program in Jandiala Guru's village Daduana was stopped by the Nihang Sikhs. Nihangs had also vandalized there. The police have registered a case against 150 Nihang Sikhs after this incident.

Jathedar opposed the case against Nihangs

On the other hand, on Tuesday, the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Harpreet Singh also issued a statement opposing the Punjab government to register a case against the Nihangs. He said that the Christian priests are misleading Hindus and Sikhs by hypocrisy and getting them converted. Many times Nihangs complained about this, but the government did not listen to them. After this, the controversy flared up.
