Chandigarh, Feb 13 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today appealed to the people of Punjab not to allow miscreants and enemies of peace to disturb communal harmony in the state.

Referring to the unfortunate incident of desecration of the image of Sri Guru Ravi Dass ji at Phagwara yesterday, Mr Badal said the great and holy spiritual ambassador was an icon of the greatest virtues and values to the entire mankind.

The government will ensure that no one is allowed to take law into his own hands and hurt the religious sentiments of any community, he added.
