R P Singh, the national spokesperson of the BJP, condemned the lynching of a man in Golden Temple and demanded that the Charanjit Singh Channi-led government hand over the investigation in the case to the CBI.
He tweeted, “I strongly condemn the attempt to desecrate Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Darbar Sahib. I also demand Charanjit Channi-led government immediately hand over the case to CBI so that truth can be known, unlike Bargari, culprits of which are still roaming free.
“In yet another case of murder over alleged blasphemy, a man was killed after an alleged sacrilege at the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
The incident of sacrilege happened inside the sanctum sanctorum of Darbar Sahib yesterday evening when regular prayers were going on.
CCTV footage shows that suddenly a man entered the sanctum sanctorum and hit the holy Granth Sahib with a Kirpan.
Reportedly, he had picked up the golden Kirpan from the sanctum sanctorum of the Gurudwara itself, which was placed near the holy Sikh Scripture.
