'Dera Sacha Sauda' followers & Sikhs Clash again

In India Punjab State is again seething with communal violence. Today evening, tens of thousands of Sikhs vented their anger against followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect for allegedly blaspheming their religion and set their properties and vehicles on fire.

Over 25,000 Sikhs had gathered outside Salabetpura, Punjab's biggest Dera campus that is 30 km from Bathinda, and were set to attack it.

Isn't it strange that if someone just poses or dresses like "Sikh Guru" then Sikhs take it as an offence. Nowhere Baba Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh of "Dera Sacha Sauda" declared on his own that he is posing like 10th Sikh Guru Gobind Singh or he is going to baptize his followers just like Sikh Guru did. Sikhs have taken their own meaning out of the acts of Baba Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh.

In a democratic country like India, one is free to wear dress as per his liking. In that case what's there in adorning a dress which may look similar to some historical personality. It's high time people of Punjab think rationally & stop violence over trivial matter of someone dressing like some historical personality.
