Revisit your murky past before staging mock dharnas, Jakhar tells Sukhbir
SAYS SUKHBIR WAS DEPUTY CM IN A GOVT WHICH FACILITATED PARDON FOR DERA CHIEF
Chandigarh, August 7, 2020 : Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) Chief Sunil Jakhar has said that mock dharna staged by Sukhbir Badal in Patiala is similar to blasphemous act committed by Dera Chief to denigrate Sikh religious maryada at Dera Salabatpura.
PPCC Chief, in a statement issued here, asserted that those same people are sitting on dharna today under whose government posters were put up in broad daylight after committing murderous assault on holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. These are the same people who while in Government had even taken back case filed against the dera head.
He asked Sukhbir to clarify whether he was Deputy CM or not when these tragic and heart-rending incidents were happening in Punjab. "Were you the state Home Minister or not, Jakhar lashed out asking Sukhbir was your party Panthic then or not?"
Jakhar reminded SAD president that it was during your own Government only when Dera Chief had crushed the religious sentiments of whole Sikh Community at Salabatpura, and it was so called Panthic government of SAD only which had taken back case filed against Dera head in 2012. Then in 2015 when holy scriptures of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji were stolen from Burj Jawahar Singh Wala, instead of arresting the culprits this 'panthic' government of SAD had opened fired at innocent Sangat protesting against this atrocious and inhuman act to forward their petty political interests.
Jakhar further said that under Captain Amarinder Singh led Congress Government, investigating agencies are close to solving several cases related to sacrilege and police firing but SAD is still trying to hamper the investigations by misusing CBI. Police will enforce law stringentl
