Congress leader Harish Rawat performs 'penance' at gurdwara for colleague's 'mistake'

DEHRADUN: (Dec 9) Congress leader Harish Rawat served at a gurdwara in Aadhat Bazaar here to "atone" for the "offensive" remarks made by the party's Uttarakhand election management committee chairman Harak Singh Rawat against the Sikh community.

Harish Rawat visited Gurdwara Singh Sabha and prayed there. Then he performed 'langar seva' in the kitchen and 'shoe seva' in the shoe shop.

"We made a mistake, and today, by reciting the Gurdwara's Gurbani, they have purified us," Harish Rawat told reporters.
