Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi has appealed to the people of the state to respect and protect the places of worship of all religions. The Chief Minister made the appeal during a visit to the Golden Temple a day after a man accused of 'sacrilege' was lynched on the premises on Saturday.

During his interaction with the media, CM Channi said, "We appeal to the people of the state to respect and protect the religious centers of all religions, maintain communal harmony."
