Mr. Sidhu asked police officials to take action against perpetrators of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident rather than stopping public representatives
Several Punjab Congress leaders, including Navjot Singh Sidhu, were on Thursday prevented from heading to Lakhimpur Kheri and were detained at a police station in Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
Earlier in the day, a large number of party workers, leaders, including several Ministers and legislators assembled in Mohali and headed towards Lakhimpur Kheri in their vehicles to protest against the killing of farmers during violence in the U.P. district. The protestors led by Mr. Sidhu were stopped at the Haryana-Uttar Pradesh border where U.P. police had put up barricades.
