New Delhi:
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has lashed out at the Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana, saying it let Panchkula burn for political gains.

It says the government seemed to have surrendered to violent followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda after their leader Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was convicted of rape by a CBI court.

The Khattar administration is under fire for letting the mob of Dera followers build up in Panchkular at least 72 hours before the verdict.
