Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale, who was attacked recently, at his headquarter, Gurdwara Parmeshwar Dawar in Patiala tomorrow.
"Kejriwal will meet the religious preacher tomorrow," an AAP spokesman said here today.
Dhadrianwale survived a murderous assault allegedly by men from radical Sikh group Damdami Taksal last week in which his associate was killed.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal today visited the residence of a
journalist, who was allegedly shot dead by a Akali Councillor few days back, to express condolence.
"Law and order situation in Punjab has stooped to a new low, which could be evident of the spree of murders by liquor mafia and murder of Kewal Krishan, a journalist by Akali Councillor", Kejriwal said and alleged that the situation has become so "worse" that even journalists are not safe in Punjab.
When the family of the killed journalist apprised the visiting Delhi Chief Minister that marriage of his daughter was fixed for November 26, Kejriwal said "Punjab Government should provide adequate compensation to the family to enable them to solemnise marriage of the victim's daughter apart from delivering justice.
Once voted to power, it would be challenge for AAP Government to bring back the deteriorated law and order on the track by restoring people's faith on the police, which is at present "working like Akali Jathedars", Kejriwal said.
Later on, Kejriwal visited Satauj, the native village of party MP Bhagwant Mann and directly drove down to the residences of three youth, who were recently died due to electrocution.
Three youth identified as Binder Singh, Buta Singh and Gurjant Singh were electrocuted recently, when they were working in the field and high tension wire fell on them.
