[QUOTE="Vikram singh, post: 129445, member: 1078"] [B]AMRITSAR[/B]: Dal Khalsa, a group representing the radical Sikhs Sunday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh and raised serious concern over the unsavory situation arisen after he(PM) raised the issue of rise of “Sikh extremism” in Canada with your counterpart Stephen Harper at least in two of your three bilateral meetings. The letter under signatures of Harchranjit Singh Dhami President of Dal khalsa was released to press by Kanwarpal Singh Bittu.
