London, Jun 16 : Followers of a Sikh sect took out a protest march here against the recent killing of their religious leader Sant Ramanand in a Gurdwara in Vienna, Austria.

Protesters belonging to more than 20 Guru Ravidass Sabha Gurdwaras in UK submitted a memorandum to the Indian High Commission demanding justice, equality and abolition of caste-based system.



The Ravidassi sect has followers from the lower strata of Sikhs, with followers spread across Austria, Canada, Europe and US.



An attack in a gurdwara in Vienna on May 24 had left a preacher of Dera Sacha Khand sect dead, while another leader was seriously injured.



The incident had sparked riots in parts of Punjab and Haryana in India.



They also demanded a ban on weapons carried by Sikhs as part of their religion. Ze
