No change of guard over Dera riots: Manohar Lal Khattar
After his meeting with Mr Shah, the Haryana CM said his government had acted with “restraintâ€and he was satisfied with its work.
New Delhi: Rejecting the Opposition’s demand for his resignation over “mishandling” the situation after the court verdict against Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, when over three dozen people died in violence, Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Wednesday that his government is “satisfied with our work” and “there will be no change (of guard)” in the state. Mr Khattar met BJP president Amit Shah and submitted a report on the violence. Most of the deaths were due to police firing after the Dera chief's followers went on a rampage when he was convicted of raping two of his women followers. Later, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
