Our objective is to resolve the matter in a peaceful manner. The HSGMC is capable of resolving the issues, and the mischievous elements should refrain from creating obstacles,” he added.However, HSGMC president Jagdish Singh Jhinda said he had not been informed about the meeting.“Some members of the committee met the CM at their own level. I had no message about the meeting. It appears that some people want to divide the HSGMC. We have already given the call to hold a congregation on August 25. If the demands are not met, the further decision will be taken by the Sikh Sangat,” he said.Meanwhile, a group of retired police personnel and family members of policemen injured during the August 13 face-off gathered in Ambala City and demanded strict action against those who attacked the police.The clash had left nearly nine policemen, including DSP (Crime) Virender Sharma, and several protesters injured. Jhinda and some other protesters were also injured.Ambala SP Ajit Singh Shekhawat said, “The kin of injured policemen had arrived to mark their resentment against attacks on police personnel. We have assured their treatment is being taken care of, and the financial and all other possible support will be extended to them.”The SP said the Sikh community leaders had assured on August 13 that a five-member committee would hold discussions with officials, but instead a call was given to block the NH-44.“Multiple warnings were given and they were asked to vacate the national highway, but to no avail. Some of the protesters were carrying weapons and to avoid any untoward incident later in the night, a mild force was used to clear the highway. We are ready to continue the dialogue to resolve the issue in a peaceful manner,” he said.
