Amritsar, December 22
Activists of various Sikh organisations on Tuesday staged a protest outside the Sikh organisations — Chief Khalsa Diwan and Khalsa College — demanding expulsion of pro-BJP leaders from these organisations.
In the backdrop, the Sikh activists contesting the agricultural laws demanded that Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina, honorary secretary of Khalsa College Governing Council and Iqbal Singh Lalpura, a member of Chief Khalsa Diwan be removed as both of them share allegiance to the BJP, which had been adamant of not repealing the contentious farm laws.
Chief Khalsa Diwan President Nirmal Singh said that the demand letter submitted by the protesters has been received today, which will be sent to Lalpura and he will be asked to submit clarification in this regard, which will be tabled later in the members’ meeting.
The protestors, Mehtab Singh and Jaswinder Singh, said a letter had also been sent to Satyajit Singh Majithia, President, Khalsa College Governing Council to remove Chhina.
Chinna, in a statement, termed the protest outside Khalsa College gate as unfortunate but misrepresented by some mischievous elements. He said his affiliation or ideology towards the party was his personal matter and that he has been serving the college without any self-interest. During his stint, he said he never let politics take over the matters of the organisation. The activists said people from all walks of life in Punjab opposed the ‘black laws’ enacted by PM Modi government. — TNS
