All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) has urged the Government of India to form a Parliamentary Standing Committee that would look into the growing religious intolerance in the country.
The body suggested action against the elements who are found involved in such acts and fanning the flames.
In a statement issued on the occasion of Baisakhi, APSCC Chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina expressed concern over the attacks on various religious institutions in the country. Raina said that religious places like Gurdwaras, Mandirs, Masjids and Churches should be kept aloof from the politics and people should be allowed to practice their own religion without any fear.
He also urged the Supreme Court to take note of such incidents and ensure that the right to freedom of religion is enforced in letter and spirit.
Raina conveyed his best wishes on the occasion of Baisakhi and prayed for peace as well as prosperity of the entire country. PTI MIJ SMN
