There is no place for such violence at a religious institution, and the sanctity of Gurdwara Sahibs must be respected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cThe Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) also needs to understand the sentiments that continue to exist among the Sikh community over the beadbi incidents of 2015. The Akali Dal formed governments five times by seeking votes in the name of the Panth, but during its government, incidents of desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji took place at several places in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the protests that followed the incidents, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cWhen people came out peacefully to protest against the desecration, dirty water cannons and even firing were used against them, resulting in the deaths of two Sikhs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe pain and resentment over those incidents continue to remain alive in the minds of Sikhs even today. This sentiment needs to be understood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating his position, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cWhile any attempt to attack a person must be condemned, the Akali Dal must also recognise the emotions and grievances that emerged from the events of 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said, \u201cThe sanctity of Gurdwara Sahibs must be respected and no such
