Amritsar:  To observe the 33 years of army assault on Darbar Sahib, the SGPC president and Dal Khalsa activists here today discussed the ways to make the June 6 congregation at Akal Takhat Sahib peaceful and in accordance with panthic maryada.

Prof Kirpal Singh Baduangar had a 30 min meeting with Kanwar Pal Singh at the official residence of the former. Both expressed their concerns about the unsavoury situation being aroused at Akal Takhat Sahib in the preceding  years on June 6.
