Amritsar, March 3: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami strongly condemned Kejriwal government of Delhi for becoming an obstruction in the release of Prof Devinderpal Singh Bhullar and said that this has exposed the anti-Sikh face of Aam Aadmi Party.
Advocate Dhami said the deferment of the release of Prof Bhullar by the Sentence Review Board (SRB) of the Delhi government yesterday (on Wednesday) is extremely unfortunate, due to which, the Sikh Qaum (community) is in high displeasure.
SGPC President questioned that the SRB did not make it clear what is the issue it has with the release of Prof Bhullar?
SGPC President appealed to the Government of India to intervene to stop the anti-Sikh activities being carried out by Kejriwal.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi should issue an order to Delhi government in this regard so that the Sikhs who are lodged in jails for decades could be released soon. In case of release of Prof Bhullar, Government of India should issue strict instructions to Delhi government”, said Advocate Dhami.
“On one side, during the Punjab assembly elections, Kejriwal and his party leaders kept on talking about taking a decision on the release of Prof Bhullar in the forthcoming meeting of Sentence Review Board, but on the other hand, no decision was made in the SRB meeting. This is the truth of Kejriwal’s Delhi government towards Sikhs and he will not be able to deny the same”, said Advocate Dhami.
SGPC President said that Kejriwal has always remained anti-Sikh and it is evident from the fact that there is not even a single Sikh minister in the cabinet of Delhi government.
SGPC President said that on the occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the Government of India had announced the release of Sikh prisoners who had completed their long sentences and the name of Prof Devinderpal Singh Bhullar was also on the list.
“Sadly, the Delhi government is committing excesses on the Sikhs against the decision of Government of India”, said Advocate Dhami.
