Another dera head claims threat
WSN Network

CHAHERU (KAPURTHALA):  The head of a Chaheru-based dera who calls himself with a fancy name of "Phul Dass 108 Sant Kishan Nath" has claimed he has received threats from someone abroad for alleged violation of the Sikh Rehat Maryada. The dera head who has many followers mostly from the Ravidassia community has also said he was not guilty of violating any maryada and his followers never touch his feet in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib.

It is not clear immediately how valid were his claims but the police have deployed two constables at the Chaheru dera to keep an eye on the visitors.

"None my followers have ever touched my feet in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib. We treat the holy book with full dignity. I fail to understand why they are targeting me," the dera head said.
