Faridkot, Punjab: Faridkot police, on Feb. 15, forced Sikh Sangat to end a religious function on the complaint of followers of dera sauda sirsa (DSS). As per information a religious function was being organized by the Sikh sangat of village Pakka (near Faridkot) where Baba Harjinder Singh Manjhi was giving his discourse on Sikh religion and current issues. Followers of dera sauda, a Srisa based controversial cult, raised objections that Baba Harjinder Singh Manjhi’s references to the dera sirsa chief had hurt their sentiments. The altercation between Sikhs and dera followers reportedly took serious turn and there were chances of violence clash.
