Demanding the arrest of the miscreants, Ludhiana Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu tweeted: "The poison being spread by Pannu and Jathedar Sahib has shown its effect in Moga. Now is the time to differentiate between those who love this country and those who want to destroy it."
Bittu is the grandson of late Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, who was assassinated on August 31, 1995.
