UPA EXPOSED FOR ITS ANTI-SIKH POSTURE FOR HURTING THEIR RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS CHANDIGARH AUGUST 30(BB)-Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal today slammed the Congress led UPA government at the Centre for hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikhs by adopting an anti-Sikh posture of deliberately rejecting the proposal of the separate Sikh Marriage act for solemnizing the marriages of the community. Strongly condemning the arbitrary decision of the Union government, the Chief Minister said that the Sikh Community in general and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in particular had been impressing upon the Centre for expeditious enactment of the Anand Karaj Act for Sikhs on the pattern of other similar acts covering Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Jews. Despite personal assurance to the various SAD MPs from both the houses of Parliament by the former law Minister Mr. Veerappa Moily that the draft bill for Sikh Marriage act was ready and would be sent for Cabinet approval soon before being placed in Parliament. Now the sudden U-turn by the Government to out rightly abandon the said proposal for any amendment not only tantamount to a ‘breach of trust’ but also tormented the psyche of the Sikhs across the globe. Mr. Badal questioned the very rationale behind the rejection of this proposal and however cited the only probable reason of dropping the bill as it was related with the Sikh Community. Without mincing words the Chief Minister, blamed the Centre for its die hard attitude for being indifferent to the Sikhs in all the matters be it economic, political and above all religious as in this context for the reasons best known to them. Mr Badal categorically said that the comprehensive enactment of the Separate Sikh Marriage Act by amending Anand Karaj Act, 1909 would go a long way in curbing the malpractice of deserting our brides of Sikh Community. Mr Badal asserted that this issue of immense social significance had been time and again raised by the Ambassadors of UK, Canada, Italy and USA with the Punjab government for resolving it permanently and said the only ray of hope for registration of marriages under the amended Act had been dashed to the grounds. Describing this irresponsible Act of the UPA Government, Mr. Badal said the Centre has once again proved him right in his firm assertion of its anti Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiyat stance on one hand and a severe blow to its credibility of claiming to be a secular government on the other. It may be recalled that from a long time the Sikh community have been demanding that the existing Anand Marriage Act, 1909 to be amended for its conversion into a comprehensive legislation governing Sikh marriages.
