Shiv Sena, RSS come under fire

Mann, who was addressing a political conference organised by his party at Gurdwara Dukhniwaran on the occasion of Basant Panchmi, said that his party would organise a big conference at Fatehgarh Sahib on February 12 to mark the birthday of the late Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. The Jathedar of the Akal Takht had agreed to attend the conference and invitations had also been sent to SGPC chief.

He said had given a positive response to the invitation for the conference.

However, he assailed Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal for announcing holding of an Akali conference in Patiala on the same day and said that he was doing to apparently to sabotage the SAD Amritsar conference.
