Jagir Kaur doing cheap divisive politics for SGPC : Chugh

Chandigarh, Jan 6 (UNI) BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh Wednesday lambasted
SGPC president Jagir Kaur for not letting Prime Minister Narendra Modi participate in the
upcoming Sikh centenary events saying that Jagir Kaur was playing cheap and dirty politics.
After honouring the Prime Minister with Shiromani award last year the SGPC's stance in the
name was deplorable and reprehensible as it reflected the demented thinking of Jagir Kaur to disrespect the PM who had taken historic steps for the Sikhs and the Punjabis.
Mr Chugh said the SGPC had no hesitation in inviting the previous Prime Ministers who belonged to the Congress party which had engineered the operation Bluestar, operation Black Thunder and was instrumental in abetting anti-Sikh riots in 1984 to the Sikh historic functions between 2004-14.
He said it was because of Modi that many Congress leaders including Sajjan Kumar were behind the bars today for their role in 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Prime Minister went overboard to delete the black list that was a cause of concern for the Sikhs abroad. For the Kartarpur corridor Modi facilitated all arrangements so that the age-old prayer of the Punjabis to visit Nanakana Sahib was answered.
Mr Chugh said Jagir Kaur, being a nominee of the Shiromani Akali Dal, has forgotten that when the three Agriculture Reforms Bills were passed they had the endorsement of the then Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur and SAD President Sukhbir Badal. "All along the Badal family kept supporting the 'Farm Bills' and its on record", he said adding that Jagir Kaur's announcement would be nothing but a disservice to the Sikh Gurus who had vouched for humanity.
Moreover, the Sikh Gurus do not belong to just one community of farmers. People from other trades and religions hold them with equal respect. "So to bar the Prime Minister from taking part in the historic celebrations reflects divisive politics of negativity," he added.
