Arvind Kejriwal meets Sikh preacher Dhadrianwale in Punjab,Punjab 2017 polls, Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale,Damdami Taksal,Punjab
With elections in Punjab less than a year away, Delhi Chief MinisterArvind Kejriwal dashed off to Patiala on Wednesday to meet a Sikh religious preacher to mourn the death of his associate who was shot last week. Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party has alleged that the attack reflected the poor law and order situation in Punjab and the state was not even safe for religious preachers.
"Kejriwal remained with the religious preacher for about 30 minutes," an AAP spokesman said.
Dhadrianwale survived a murderous assault allegedly by men from radical Sikh group Damdami Taksal last week in which his associate was killed.
Taksal chief Harnam Singh Dhumma has justified the attack.
"We condemn the attack, Kejriwal had come to convey this... the Badal government has failed on law and order front," said AAP spokesperson Sukhpal Khaira.
This was Mr Kerjiwal's second visit to a dera in Punjab. During his tour in March, the Delhi chief minister had met chief of Dera Sachkhand Ballan in Jalandhar.
