Hoshiarpur, Aug 29, 2019 (Yes Punjab News)
Taking serious view of the demolition of Bhagat Ravidas ji temple in Delhi, the Sikh bodies today resolved to take out a March in Jalandhar on Sep 3 to express their solidarity with Ravidasia community and to send message to Delhi Govt that nothing short of reconstruction of temple would soothe the hurt sentiments of aggrieved community.
The three Panthic parties that joined hands are Dal Khalsa, SAD ( Amritsar),and United Akali Dal.
Addressing the press conference here today, Kanwar Pal Singh and Prof Mohinder Pal Singh said demolition of temple was as painful and hurtful to Sikhs as it was to Ravidasia community.
They said Bhagat Ravidas ji’s Hymns are part of Guru Granth Sahib, hence both the communities have shared bondings. Moreover forceful demolition of any holy place irrespective of religion leaves lacks of its disciple and followers in pain and stress. We condemn the Govt’s move and fully stand by Ravidasia community in this hour of crisis.
They said their groups will cooperate with Ravidasia community in their future action program to build temple in case Govt fails to reconstruct the same at original location.
They said before taking out the solidarity march in Jalandhar, they would hold convention at Gurdwara Guru Teg Bahadur where speakers will share their views and concerns on the matter. They have invited BSP and Bahujan Mukti Morcha representatives to attend the convention.
Replying to a question on CBI’s About turn in Bargari sacrilege case, the Dal Khalsa leader said it was matter of grave concern that justice eludes Sikhs even after four years of painful event and despite three SIT’s constituted by both past and present governments.
All probe panels ( SIT) and the CBI were working on political lines thus making mockery of justice. Their findings contradicts each other leaving us in no doubt that the factionalism within police hierarchy have marred their professionalism and credibility.
Self-contradictory Statements by both Amarinder Singh and Sukhbir Badal has further derailed the justice process.
Spokesman KANWAR Pal Singh said the tragedy is that DGP Parbodh Kumar wrote a letter to CBI demanding to re-probe the case without the consent of present day government. Exposing the fissures in the probe, Dal khalsa leader said Kumar urged the CBI to probe the Sacrilege case from foreign conspiracy angle, which was actually the brainchild of Sukhbir Badal and his handpicked police officials. He further said this foreign conspiracy angle fell flat in the findings of the SIT, which Kumar himself is heading. SYP president Paramjeet Singh Mand was also present.
