“Kejriwal did not protest against the blasphemy then or even later giving a clear indication of the respect he has for the holy book of the Sikh community. Now it is incumbent on him to seek apology from the Sikh Sangat as well as take strictest action against Khetan. This is necessary to assuage the hurt feelings of the entire Sikh community”, he added.
