Won't allow anyone disturb peace, harmony in Punjab: AAP over Patiala clash incident
2022-04-30
[oneIndia] Condemning the festivities between the two groups in Patiala district in Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

on Friday, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that all miscreants should be brought to book and punished.

The AAP said that it will not allow any attempt to disturb peace and harmony in Punjab. "Strongly condemned the clash between the two political groups in Patiala. We'll not allow anyone to disturb peace and harmony. All miscreants must be brought to book and punished," AAP's poll strategist and co-in charge of party's political affairs in Punjab, Sandeep Pathak, said in a tweet.

The district administration has announced an 11-hour curfew in Punjab's Patiala district on Friday after four people were maimed when two groups clashed over an "anti-Khalistan
...Khalistan is the idea of an independent Sikh homeland in the Indian (and Pak, but they don't dwell on that) Punjab. The local troublemakers are financed by the Sikh diaspora, who love the idea of the folks they left behind murdering their neighbours before dying romantically for a hopeless idea, with training and additional funding from Pakistain’s ISI via Lashkar-e-Taiba as yet another arrow aimed at the Indian throat...
march".

The curfew will be enforced between 7 pm Friday and 6 am Saturday.

The clash took place outside the Kali Mata temple when members of an outfit that calls itself "Shiv Sena
A Hindoo nationalist political movement that presents a resistance using the same nasty tactics to aggressive Islamists and that's a pain in the underwear to other Indian political parties...
(Bal Thackeray)" began a "Khalistan Murdabad March". Some Sikh activists, including Nihangs,
...Nihangs are bright blue-clad elite Sikh warriors, apparently tasked to protect Sikh shrines. Though how they fight wearing those exaggerated matching turbans is beyond me...
took out another march against the Sena event.

Near the Kali Mata temple, the two groups came face to face and hurled stones at each other. The temple gates were locked and police deployed in large numbers to prevent the situation from escalating further in the city, police said.

A Sena leader said the outfit had planned the march as a reply to the announcement by Sikhs for Justice
...headed by Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a plumber who lives comfortably in Canada’s British Columbia, far from the romantic danger endured by the revolutionaries he commands. The group has been in the news lately following the arrests of a number of their members who ought perhaps not have applied for asylum in Germany...
to mark the 'foundation day of Khalistan" on April 29. Patiala Inspector General of Police Rakesh Agarwal told news hounds that the situation was now under control.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann called the incident unfortunate and peace has been restored. "The incident of festivities in Patiala are deeply unfortunate. I spoke with the DGP (police chief), peace has been restored in the area. We are closely monitoring the situation and will not let anyone create disturbance in the State. Punjab's peace and harmony is of utmost importance," Mann said.
An earlier One India article adds:
The members of the two groups are said to have waived swords and thrown stones at each other. The Shiv Sena (Bak Thackeray) group is said to have taken out the march without police permission.
