Dera Sucha Sauda -Sikh conflict in India

[Guest]

<b>Dera chief’s security withdrawn</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Disclosing this here today, Punjab police chief N P S Aulakh told reporters here that "the police protection given to the Dera Sacha Sauda has been withdrawn."

"The four PSOs (Personal Security Officials) provided by the previous Government to the head of Dera Sacha Sauda has been withdrawn," he said.

<b>The gunmen for the personal security of Dera head were provided by the previous Congress government headed by Amarinder Singh, Aulakh said. </b>

However, the state police chief kept mum when mediapersons asked him whether the state government is of the opinion that there is no threat perception to the head of Dera Sacha Sauda.

<b>Punjab Chief Minister`s Media Advisor Harcharan Singh Bains, who accompanied the DGP, however sought to justify the withdrawal of security saying Haryana police had given enough security to the Dera head. </b>  <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
