“Since the issue of desecration and the killing of peaceful and innocent protestors by the police, in protest of which our colleague Ramanjit Singh Sikki resigned, continues to remain unresolved, there is no point in contesting the election”, they said, adding, “contesting the bye-election when the issues remain unresolved would have defeated the very purpose of resignation for which it was submitted”.
