Jalandhar, Punjab (April 13, 2014):
Describing Congress, BJP, AAP as feathers of the same flock, the Dal
Khalsa head Harchranjit Singh Dhami said all mainstream political
parties have same agenda when it comes to Sikh aspirations as they don’t
want to resolve the Punjab problem and instead want to muzzle the voice
of dissent through state might.
He was speaking at a conference
organized by Dal Khalsa’s youth wing ‘Sikh Youth of Punjab’ focusing on
Sikh Nationalism. The occasion was to commemorate birth anniversary of
the Khalsa Panth. The SYP observed the day as Sikh Nationalism Day. The
function was started with a tribute to martyrs of 1978 Baisakhi.
He slammed certain Akali factions that
have been working against the interests of the community and causing
harm to the Sikh cause by affiliating with the mainstream parties like
BJP, Congress and AAP.
He dismissed the notion that the violent
acts by militant groups were in any way a justification for the state
repression against the Sikhs.
