Amritsar: The SGPC President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami has strongly condemned the incident of assault on a Sikh ticket checker S. Jasbir Singh, while he was performing his railway service duty in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

He said that the video of this incident is very sad, which makes it clear that some passengers attacked S. Jasbir Singh while he is performing his duty, which is highly condemnable.
