KZF denies hand in Vienna attack on Dera preachers

The militant organisation Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) on Thursday denied reports of any involvement in an attack on the preachers of Dera Sachkhand in Vienna in which one person was killed.

A statement issued by Ranjit Singh Jammu alias Neeta,the self-styled head of the KZF, said that the attack was masterminded by ‘some agencies’ and pointed a finger at Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his coterie.

“I apologise with folded hands that such an attack was planned by anti-Sikh forces. Sant Ravidass is revered Sant whose bani is part of Guru Granth Sahib and we could never think of such a heinous act,that too in the presence of Granth,” he said in the statement e-mailed to the media on Thursday. He is supposedly taking shelter in Pakistan.
