(PTI Photo) The activists of Punjab Christian Movement (PCM) took to the streets on Monday in protest against an allegedly objectionable comment made about Jesus Christ by Sikh leader Amritpal Singh. The PCM activists gathered near PAP chowk, blocking the highway under the flyover. The commuters had a tough time manoeuvring their way through the crowd on the national highway. People were stuck in the traffic for more than four hours because of the dharna, which was lifted only after 4 pm. Some of them had to take a detour to avoid the traffic congestion. Amritpal Singh is a Dubai returned self-styled Sikh preacher who is the new leader of “Waris Punjab De”, an organisation founded by late singer-cum-actor Deep Sidhu to deliberate on issues concerning Punjab. Hamid Masih of PCM said that they won’t tolerate any insult to Jesus Christ and wanted the state government to book the Sikh leader for hurting religious sentiments of the Christian community. PCM activists also threatened to intensify their protest if their demand for justice was not met. Police had to break their back to get the protesters lift the dharna.

GurjantGnostic Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Attacking Christ is the worst angle though. The only one we can't and shouldn't persue really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I don't think this has happened though, it is unlike the nature of 'religious' Sikhs, I think it is lies from what I know about how well perceived Bhai Amritpal Singh is . Lying and false accusations seem very common in India to 'attack' enemies (and probably just as common in the West now I think about it!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
