BJP spokesperson RP Singh meanwhile demanded a CBI probe into the matter.

Sirsa in a statement issued here said the incident has sent shock waves throughout the world as never in history of Sri Darbar Sahib such attempt has been made.

He said the failure of the Congress government to solve sacrilege cases has resulted in a repeat of such incidents.

“It should also be probed why such incidents occur at the time when elections are around the corner,” said Sirsa.

He said the history of Congress has forced Sikhs to point a finger towards it.

Meanwhile, Sirsa also apprised Home Minister Shah of the incident and urged him that this matter should be thoroughly probed.

“HM expressed shock at the incident and said that he has never heard of such incident in his life and he assured that every step will be taken to expose this conspiracy. HM said he would talk to Punjab CM in this regard,” Sirsa added.

Sirsa also asked SGPC to probe this incident at its own behalf.
