The SAD and the BJP today sought the Punjab governor's "urgent and effective" intervention to stop the state government from going ahead with its "deep-rooted and disastrous conspiracy" to "systematically murder" Sikh history, heritage and culture.
In the wake of a controversy over alleged deletion of chapters on Sikh Gurus from Class 12 history book by the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB), a delegation of the two allies led by Sukhbir Singh Badal and Shwait Malik, the chiefs of the SAD and the BJP's Punjab unit respectively, met Governor V P Singh Badnore here.
After the meeting, Badal said the delegation came out of the meeting with "constructive and positive vibes".
A memorandum presented to the governor warned the state government against its "brazen obstinacy in sticking to the course of confrontation against the history and heritage of the great gurus and against the great people of Punjab."
