Amritsar, Punjab (September 03, 2014): Dal Khalsa today fired a salvo against BJP leader Laxmi Kanta Chawla for spewing venom against Sikh martyrs and tradition to honor quami heroes.

The organization has asked her not to surpass the limits nor offend the sentiments of the Sikhs.

Taking the BJP leader’s name calling the Sikh martyrs as provocative and ridiculous, the Dal Khalsa head H S Dhami said right from 1984 this lady has always love to be on the wrong side of the Sikh community.

The freedom to express one’s views doesn’t give her the freedom to use abusive language against Sikh way and tradition to honour their martyrs. Quoting world famous phrase that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, he said if the BJP, Congress or any pro-Indian party considers Beant Singh-Satwant Singh, Bhai Jinda-Sukha and Dilawar Singh as “terrorist” it’s their “perception”. With regard to Sikhs, he said, they all are heroes as they have been declared martyrs by Akal Takht.

Without mincing words, he said “to whom Sikhs consider their traitors, they are your (read likes of Laxmi Kanta) heroes”.

“In the eyes of Sikhs, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narsima Rao, Gen Vadiya, Gen KS Brar, KPS Gill, Beant Singh falls in the category of ‘terrorists’ as they all engineered the mass killings of Sikhs in one way or the other though at different times”, said Dal Khalsa leader.

He slammed BJP leadership for their communal streak and sectarian agenda. He rubbishes the bogus claims of Laxmi Kanta that films or functions to pay tributes to martyrs would disturb peace and harmony.
He asserted that the peace and harmony could be in danger with the utterances of RSS and BJP leaders who are hell bent to radicalize the political atmosphere to consolidate Hindu vote-bank.

The Dal Khalsa leader said that it was the Hindutva brand of politics practised by a “lunatic Brahaminical minority” (likes of Laxmi Kanta) which compelled minorities to take extreme steps.
He criticised the Akali leadership for striking an alliance with Hindutva forces. He said that it was the father-son duo (read Badals) that allowed the RSS and the BJP to have a field day in Punjab.
