It is worth mentioning that the police had registered the FIR against the Manager of Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib and four other employees on the complaint of JE of tourism department alleging that they had demolished the structure of development works being initiated by tourism department near Gurudwara Jyoti swarup Sahib. A delegation of SAD(B) leaders and SGPC members had submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner and the SSP last days demanding that the FIRs should be cancelled immediately as the land belongs to SGPC rather MLA Kuljit Singh Nagra and officials of the tourism department who trespass the SGPC land should be booked. DC & SSP had assured to conduct the enquiry and to do the justice.
Addressing the gathering Didar Singh Bhatti and other speakers lashed out at the administration and MLA Nagra alleging that on the name of development he is encroaching on SGPC land, which they will not allow at any cost nor will they allow any statue to be installed. They highlighted the atrocities of the MLA being committed on SAD(B) workers. They called upon the party rank and file to present a united face to oppose high handedness of MLA. He said that they will seek the answer from MLA of the atrocities being committed by him at the appropriate time.
Karnail Singh Panjoli SGPC members warned the district administration if they did not withdraw the FIRs, SGPC will boycott the administration during Saheedi Jor Mela. He urged the administration not to follow the dictates of MLA Nagra.
