AMRITSAR: Mr Hari Singh Arewala, an executive member of the SGPC yesterday alleged that he and his relatives were illegally detained by the UP police and implicated in a false case,
In a communication to the President and the Governor and Chief Minister of UP he stated that when he along with his relatives was going to Lucknow to attend a marriage, they were harassed, assaulted and looted by goondas at the Shahjahan pur railway station.
The police who remained silent spectators during the hooliganism, later detained and registered a case against them instead of taking any action against the miscreants.
After reading the news, we wonder if this is the healing touch, which the government talks about.
People who had some faith in the policy of understanding and reconciliation have been completely disillusioned.
