Fatehgarh Sahib, September 29, 2016: Though Tohra Loyalist led by Karnail Singh Panjoli member interim Committee SGPC today celebrated birthday of Late Panth Rattan Jathedar Gurcharn Singh Tohra and passed a resolution condemning the step taken by the daughter and son-in-law of Late Jathedar Tohra for deserting SAD (B) and joining AAP, but the organisors felt dishearten as none from the Govt. side came to attend the function even local Halka incharge came to the venue at the far end of the function.
Sher Singh former President Municipal Council Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib and the main organiser said that Jathedar Tota Singh was mentioned as Chief Guest and Avtar Singh Makkar president SGPC was to preside over but both did not turn up. He said earlier on 24th September a mega blood donation camp in memory of Late Jathedar Tohra was organised and Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema Minister for Education was supposed to inaugurate but he did not turn up. He said all those who believe in the ideology of Late Jathedar Tohra feel totally ignored by the Govt. whereas they wanted to convey the message that Late Jathedar Tohra had always fought for the “ Panthic” cause and he never accepted the ideology of “ Topi Wale” (AAP), which his family joined. He said it is unfortunate that Govt. did not give any importance to Tohra loyalists rather completely ignored.
As none of the guest mentioned on the invitation cards and hoarding ultimately it was Prof. Prem Singh Chandumajra, who cancelled all his engagements in Delhi and rushed to Fatehgarh Sahib to preside over the function.
In his address he said that he cancelled his engagement with Union Transport Minister and Union Home Minister just to attend function in memory of Late Jathedar Tohra. He said he was father figure for all of them and considers them as his family members. He said Jathedar Tohra was an institution not confined to only village or family, his ideology and legacy is being spread and followed by all his followers but the act of his unborn family members have lowered their own image.
He said they may be legal heir of Jathedar Tohra but the workers are heir of his legacy and ideology. He said his unborn family members have brought bad name to him.
He said it is unfortunate that at present “ Panth” is suffering as we can’t identify right and wrong ( Asli and Nakli). Dedicated workers are being ignored and those who enjoyed all facilities and power are deserting party.
While talking to media persons Prof. Chandumajra said the bus of Capt. Amrinder got punctured and now he is trying to ride “ Tonga Party”. He said people have rejected Capt. Amrinder and his campaign is not getting any response, so he is trying to make alliance with all tom and harry.
He said the bubble of AAP has burst, the main leaders have either been shunted out or booked in one or other case, so people of Punjab will not tolerate outsiders to rule in Punjab. He said SAD(B) will form the Govt. third time.
