No damage to any Sikh institution in Shillong: Rijiju

New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju has denied rumours of attack on a Gurdwara or any Sikh institution in violence-hit Shillong which remained comparatively peaceful on Sunday with security forces relaxing curfew for seven hours in some sensitive areas.
The minister, however, warned the people of Meghalaya not to believe the false propaganda being spread on social media and asserted that the state government was vigilant in solving the issues.
Rijiju’s comments came after a Sikh delegation met Chief Minister Conrad Sangma who denied the reports that a Gurdwara was attacked in Shillong, and expressed satisfaction that “Sikhs are safe” in the state.
“Beware of rumour-mongers and troublemakers. There was no damage to any Gurdwara or other institutions belonging to the Sikh community in Meghalaya. Law and order situation is under control and the state government is extremely vigilant and settling the case,” Rijiju tweeted. (IANS)
