Amritsar, Punjab (November 25, 2012):
The Dal Khalsa has taken serious note of the hooliganism shown by the
followers of “self proclaimed” godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim against the
Sikhs in the town of Sirsa. The organization on Sunday slammed the
Congress governments for its patronization to the head of the Sirsa
cult.
Condemning the violent attack on Sikhs
by dera followers, Dr Manjinder Singh and Sarbjit Singh Ghuman general
secretary and secretary of the party, accused dera chief of engineering
the violence and sought immediate action against the hooligans.
They said the Congress party in Delhi, Haryana and Punjab has been fuelling this dera to reap electoral benefits.
“The divisive policies of the Congress
have certainly damaged the polity, strained people-to-people
relationship and caused bloodshed”.
They said it’s unfortunate that the
state was siding with such a person who has cases of rape and murder
against him. “The courts may have granted bail to him but the manner in
which logistic support in the form of Z-plus security; bullet proof
vehicles, read beacon atop on his vehicles and 24-hour private guards
who have been provided with all-India arms licenses, smacks of the state
protecting its honoured guest”.
Seeking immediate steps to contain Sirsa
dera head for his reckless and calculated outrage of Sikh sentiments,
they rued that the repeated pleas of the Sikhs before the Government of
India as well as the Chief Ministers of both Punjab and Haryana has gone
unheard and unattended.
