CHANDIGARH: The Punjab police today claimed to have busted a terror module that allegedly had Congress leaders Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar on its hit-list.
Four persons, including a woman, have been arrested, who according to the police, were planning to carry out targeted killings under the banner – ‘Khalistan Zindabad’.
On the radar of these “highly radicalised youth” were Congress leaders Tytler and Kumar, as well as those they considered responsible for incidents of sacrilege or desecration, an official spokesman said here today.
Tytler and Kumar have faced allegations related to their role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi.
The youths had formed a group – ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ – after having been radicalised over Facebook and other social media platforms by certain individuals based in Pakistan, various middle-eastern countries and the UK, the spokesman said. (AGENCIES)
