Chandigarh, May 18

Senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia today said contrary to the Congress claims, reports of both Justice Ranjit Singh Commission and the SIT filed by Kunwar Vijay Pratap never blamed then CM Parkash Singh Badal or Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal in the police firing cases post sacrilege protests.

it’s all drama

Capt Amarinder and his gang are enacting a drama of political differences on the issue. - Bikram Majithia, SAD Leader

Addressing mediapersons here, he said: “In fact, both reports categorically refused to indict the Badals for either the firing or the sacrilege incidents in question. Nowhere in the reports’ recommendations is either PS Badal or SS Badal found guilty of any wrongdoing on the allegations levelled against them by their political opponents.”

“If they had or have evidence but never produced it before the Khalsa Panth or SIT or the court, it is an act of betrayal and treachery against Guru Granth Sahib and the Panth,” said the Akali leader.

Joining the ongoing confrontation between Capt Amarinder Singh and Navjot Sidhu, Majithia produced a pictorial and video proof of Sidhu touching the feet of Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmit Ram Rahim and comparing him with Guru Nanak Dev. “This is the truth about the character of this hypocrite and “bhakt of Ram Rahim,” he said.

Majithia added the dera chief had committed sacrilege by donning the robe associated with Guru Gobind Singh. “Instead of being outraged by this, Sidhu compared Guru Nanak with this thug,” he said. On the wrangling within the Congress, he said: “Capt and his gang are enacting a drama of political differences on this issue.”

He condemned the “misuse” of the VB to falsely implicate CM’s political opponents. — TNS
