Summary:
Amritsar, Dec 20 (PTI) SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami on Monday expressed apprehension of a "big conspiracy" behind the alleged sacrilege attempt at the Golden Temple and said the man involved in it seemed to have received "commando training".
He also claimed that the law allows a person to kill in self-defence, suggesting that this is what happened at the Golden Temple when the man was lynched after the alleged sacrilege attempt.
He told reporters that suspecting foul play, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) task force had stopped the man from entering the Golden Temple but he managed to gain entry inside the sanctum sanctorum after the shift of task force members changed in the evening.
"I feel that he had undergone commando training from the way he jumped the railing and did it (made a sacrilege attempt) in just six seconds.
There is a big conspiracy behind it," Dhami said.
On being asked that the man was lynched when caught by the SGPC task force, Dhami said "devotees were angry over this incident".
