Ray has stressed that defense protection committees should be formed at the block and village level to encourage people’s resistance to the violent activities in Punjab. Presiding over a State Committee of Communal Harmony and National Integration Council, Ray said that freedom fighters and all other elements were all out to create a situation of choas and confusion to disintegrate the unity or jeopardise freedom.
