Sikh Protest in Ambala Over Anti-Khalistani Leader Leads to Highway Blockade and Police Clashes
On August 13, Sikh community members in Ambala protested against Gursimran Singh Mand, national president of the International Anti-Khalistani Terrorist Front, demanding action against him for allegedly attempting to run over devotees during an August 7 incident at Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib. The protest escalated as demonstrators blocked the Amritsar-Delhi National Highway (NH-44) for over six hours, leading to police using tear gas and lathi charge to disperse the crowd. Several police personnel, including a DSP, were injured amid clashes. An FIR was registered against Mand, and talks between authorities and protesters continue to prevent further disruptions.
