SRINAGAR: Police today detained dozens of Sikh community members here,
protesting against the scheduled hanging of Balwant Singh Rajoana who is convicted
of killing former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh.
Protesters gathered at a
gurudwara, in the centre of the city, from where they tried to take out a street
march to protest against Rajoana's
hanging.
"When there has been no justice to the victims of 1984
riots, nothing has happened, those who committed crimes they are now rulers. And
this person (Rajoana) is being hanged, which is not right," one of Sikh leaders
said.
Rajoana's scheduled hanging will take place on March 31 as per the
court directive which awarded him death sentence in 2007.
