If the government is serious and fulfills its due responsibilities, then such conspiratorial incidents will not happen," said Harjinder Singh Dhami.He remarked that the government should conduct a high-level investigation into the incident of drinking alcohol by a girl at Gurdwara Sri Dukhniwaran Sahib, Patiala and find out which forces are trying to target the management and dignity of the Gurdwara Sahibs.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
