Sukhbir Badal slams Capt Amarinder for trying to sabotage Kartarpur Corridor

Chandigarh, November 4, 2019 (Yes Punjab News)

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal today condemned chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh for trying to destroy the sanctity of a pious occasion like 550th Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji with crass political statements aimed solely at sabotaging the Kartarpur Corridor.

In a statement here, the SAD President said it was shocking that an elected chief minister was playing with the faith of crores of Sikhs by raising questions on the very existence of the Corridor. “The chief minister has changed his statements on the Corridor repeatedly.

First he opposed it. Then he welcomed it and said he would lead the first jatha to Pakistan. Now three days before its historic opening he has again cast a shadow on its viability which has hurt Sikh sentiments and is a direct interference in their religious affairs”.

Asking the chief minister to behave responsibly, S Sukhbir Singh Badal said “your antics are not only bringing disrepute to you but also causing confusion and concern about the Sikh community. “You are needlessly trying to create a fear psychosis among Punjabis by referring to repeated threats from the ISI.

Let me assure you these threats are well known to the Union government and our security forces are well equipped to handle them. You should not use these threats as a tool to deny the Sikh community the realization of its ‘ardas’ to have ‘khule darshan deedar’ of Gurdwara Darbar Sahib at Sri Kartarpur Sahib”.

The SAD President said the chief minister was resorting to such statements solely to deflect attention from the sin committed by him by defying the edict of Sri Akal Takth Sahib to join in the main celebrations being organized on November 12 by the SGPC.

He said the chief minister had already caused incalculable harm to the Sikh community by defying Sri Akal Takth Sahib on one hand and releasing advertisements worth crores to eulogize former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who ordered tanks into Sri Darbar Sahib on the other.

“Now he has become part of a political conspiracy of the Congress party to divide the Sikh community on the occasion of the 550th Parkash Purb as per the age old Congress divide and rule policy”.

Stating that the chief minister as well as the Congress party stood exposed before the Sikh quom, Mr Badal said the Sikh community knew that the Congress party was anti-Sikh and was out to lower the dignity of all Sikh institutions as per its old policy of divide and rule.

“The Sikh Panth will not let these conspiracies succeed and will jointly celebrate the 550th Parkash Purb celebrations as per the directives of Sri Akal Takth Sahib”, he added.
