Jalandhar, June 1 (ANI): Members of the Sikh community staged a mass protest against a congregation of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect here on Sunday.

 

Trouble began when a follower of Dera Sacha Sauda sect, which combines social work with spirituality, organised special prayers function for their Dera chief.
