Congress MLA and former union minister Preneet Kaur today met Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadarianwale and assured him that her party is closely following the case of murderous assault on him and will ensure the culprits are punished.
Kaur said she had come to meet Dhadrianwale and offer her condolences over the death of one of his companions in the attack in Ludhiana last week.
Terming the attack as a highly condemnable act, she hoped the government will identify and punish the culprits with out playing any "partisan role".
Kaur said the attack reflected the fragile state of law and order in Punjab, where the criminals are having a field day and had no fear of law.
My party does not want to play politics on such a sensitive issue, but at the same time it could not overlook the seriousness and sensitivity of the matter, she said.
Dhadrianwale survived a murderous assault allegedly by men from radical Sikh group Damdami Taksal last week in which his associate was killed.
