Fatehgarh Sahib. May.1, 2020 - Bhai Gurpreet Singh Randhawa member SGPC from Fatehgarh Sahib has raised question over the working of the State health department, the facilities being provided by it and the quality of machines being used for testing COVID in the State. He said that it is unfortunate and matter of great concern that the COVID tests of Hazur Sahib Pilgrims have started coming positive as soon as they entered Punjab. He said after the positive results Baba Balwinder Singh Ji of Kar Sewa Wale at Hazur Sahib in a video message said that the administration of Nanded Sahib tested the samples of pilgrims staying there thrice but none of them was tested positive. He said as soon as Sangat reached Punjab the positive reports started pouring, which raises a big question over the quality of testing.
He alleged that it is a deep rooted conspiracy by the National media to defame the communities earlier Muslims and now Sikhs alleging them responsible for spreading COVID-19. He strongly condemned the remarks of Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu towards the Sikh Pilgrims, who came from Hazur Sahib for making them responsible for spreading COVID-19 in State. He said it is unfortunate that Minister is himself is a Sikh and alleging Sikhs for spreading COVID. He should verify the facts before making any Statement and talk to Nanded Sahib Administration.
He demanded that State government should enquire that when they started negative from Nanded how they turned into positive, when reached Punjab.
