Khalistan flag at the gate of the Himachal Legislative Assembly premises: Condemnation by Chief Minister Jairam Thakur

Some miscreants hoisted the Khalistan flag at the entrance of the Legislative Assembly premises in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh. It was discovered this morning (Sunday). State Chief Minister Jairam Thakur has strongly condemned the incident.

He said a detailed investigation into the cowardly incident would be conducted and appropriate action would be taken.

Who are these Khalistans .. “Sikhs are a national race in India. Therefore, Sikhs need a separate nation”. The Khalistan movement was born out of such a demand. Khalistan militants unleashed violence in the state of Punjab in the 1980s. Following this, the Central Government took steps to suppress the Khalistan movement led by Bhindranwale. The Khalistan organization is now known by the government as an extremist organization.
Meanwhile, members of the group have hoisted the Khalistan flag at the entrance to the Legislative Assembly premises in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh.
