The Chief Minister asked minister of state Baldev Singh Aulakh to go through all the cases so that they could be resolved amicably. The cases include eviction notices issued to Sikh farmers in Moradabad, Bareilly and Lucknow circles.The delegation also apprised the Chief Minister that some cases related to a clash between two communities over land belonging to a gurdwara in Saharanpur in 2014 still remain unresolved.It said following the clash, mediation was effected between the leading members of both communities and it was decided that members of both communities would withdraw counter cases registered against each other.The delegation said that while some cases were withdrawn, few cases persisted and solicited the intervention of the Chief Minister to resolve the issue, to which Adityanath agreed.The delegation also apprised the Chief Minister about the Pilibhit fake encounter case of 1991 in which 10 Sikhs were killed after PAC personnel stopped a pilgrim bus and separated the male members from their families and stage three separate 'encounters'.It said the Allahabad High Court had recently set aside the life imprisonment awarded to 43 PAC personnel in the case and sentenced them to seven-year terms.The delegation said the Sikh community felt that exemplary punishment should be awarded in the case as innocents were killed by terming them as terrorists. It urged the Uttar Pardesh government to file a review petition in the case in the Supreme Court.The Chief Minister assured to look into the matter sympathetically, saying that justice will be done in the case.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
