After openly admitting all the crimes committed by Akali Dal Badal President Sukhbir Singh Badal at Sri Akal Takht Sahib during his government, including the desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the appointment of Sumedh Saini, who is facing charges of serious murders, as the police chief instead of promising false police encounters and killing Sikhs who were peacefully protesting in Bargari by raining bullets on them, now the Punjab government should file cases against him and start action against him. About a dozen Sikhs were killed during the Badal government, including the youth martyred by Dera lovers, justice should also be given to them. These words were expressed today in a statement issued by Dal Khalsa leaders Baba Hardeep Singh Mehraj, Central Working Committee Member Bhai Gurvinder Singh Bathinda, Executive President Jeevan Singh Gill Kalan, Bhagwan Singh Sandhu Khurd, Ram Singh Dhipali.
He said that strict action should also be taken against the accused who removed the turban of Bhai Narayan Singh Chaura and he should also be summoned to Sri Akal Takht Sahib and paid. The three former Jathedars, Giani Gurmukh Singh, Iqbal Singh and Gurbachan Singh, who were called to Sri Akal Takht Sahib by the Jathedars to give clarification on the matter of pardoning the Dera chief, the current Jathedar should clarify before the Sangat which side they presented. He said that history is witness that after the 1980 massacre, Buta Singh and Santa Singh, who got the Khalsa Panth renovated on the orders of Delhi without the permission of the Panth, were expelled from the Panth, and now the crimes committed by Sukhbir Singh Badal and others in his party are no less. He said that what the Badal Dal people are doing after the firing is exposing their arrogance. He also appealed to the Jathedar Sahib to humbly accept the reaction of the Sikh community on the payment of salary to Sukhbir Singh Badal because in this issue, he could not play the role of Jathedar Akali Phula Singh and refused to accept the orders he had given, such as accepting Sukhbir Singh Badal’s resignation and other orders.
