Chandigarh, December 23, 2021 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today demanded a sitting judge of the high court monitor the probe into the recent cases of sacrilege even as it announced that it would hold a massive Panthic Rosh Ikath at Manji Sahib in the Sri Darbar Sahib complex in Amritsar on January 2 to protest against police inaction in the cases of sacrilege.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the party’s core committee which was presided over by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal and attended by party patron Parkash Singh Badal besides other senior members of the party.
Announcing this decision while talking to newsmen later, Mr Sukhbir Badal said “Sikhs and Punjabis do not have any faith in the Congress government and its home minister. They are convinced the Congress government is bent upon saving those behind the heinous cases of sacrilege and does not have any interest in uncovering the conspiracy behind them. They have also rejected the low level policy inquiry ordered by the government into the case and want a high level inquiry monitored by the high court”.
Mr Sukhbir Badal said the State government had failed to unravel the conspiracy behind such cases despite the fact that the SGPC handed over the person responsible for throwing the holy Gutka Sahib into the ‘sarovar’ at Sri Darbar Sahib to the police.
“Had this case been investigated properly, the subsequent ghastly event of December 18 in the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Harmandar Sahib would have been averted”. He said the State government had promised to come out with the entire conspiracy in 48 hours after the December 15 sacrilege but had not made anything public till now.
When queried, the SAD president said the bomb blast at Ludhiana was also direct fallout of the conspiracies being hatched to destabilize the peace of the State. “We had said earlier that people will be provoked by communal incidents. This has happened with sacrilege also being committed at a temple after the desecration of Sri Harmandar Sahib. Now a bomb blast has also occurred”. He said the State government and especially the State police chief should also focus on maintaining law and order instead of keeping themselves busy in vendetta politics only.
Meanwhile addressing the media here, former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said the incidents of sacrilege and violence in the state had a direct link with the writing on wall about the outcome of the 2022 assembly poll. He said the resurgence of the SAD had unnerved those who stood to lose by the return of the SAD to power.
Mr Badal said that the sacred Sri Harmandar Sahib had been made the target of devious and dangerous designs by the Mughals, the British and the Congress rulers. “After 1984 this is the first time that the most sacred shrine of humanity has been made the target of evil designs and it is not merely a coincidence that this too happens during a Congress govt. A conspiracy has been hatched to snatch the ‘seva sambhal’ of Sikh Gurdhams from the Sikh Sangat through their elected representatives and hand it over to stooges of the government.
