KAC to hold
'protest' against Congress president at 10, Janpath on 12 Dec
Guru Sar Mehraj-
Expressing anger at the Union government for its inability to detain
the megalomaniac baba, Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the Khalsa Action
Committee at a conference resolved to shift the struggle from Panjab
to Delhi by announcing strong demonstration against Congress
President Sonia Gandhi outside 10, Janpath Rd (Delhi ) on 12th
December.
Bhai Mohkam Singh, the convenor of the Khalsa Action Committee while
announcing the programme said that the state of Punjab, Haryana and
the Centre had failed to do justice to the Sikhs. He said
representatives of various organizations would be the part of the
jatha that would hold a sit in (dharna) outside the residence of UPA
chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Hitting out at the Congress, he said it
was playing with the sentiments of the Sikh Nation by following the
anti-Sikh policies of late Indira Gandhi. The pseudo-baba continues
his nefarious and venomous campaign unabatedly against the Sikhs and
that Khalsa Action Committee was totally dissatisfied with the
manner in which he has been let off by the courts on bail.
Addressing the gathering, the co-convenor of the KAC, Bhai Daljit
Singh said the Guru Manayo Granth conference was meant to uphold the
significance and importance of Shabad Guru and to declare to the
world that under no circumstances will the denigration of Guru
Granth Sahib be tolerated.
Kanwarpal Singh, the spokesperson of the KAC said the protest
against the Congress was aimed to expose the designs of the Union
government that has been patronizing the pseudo baba's to undermine
Sikh tradition and ethos. He said the Sikhs would not rest until
Sirsa baba was put behind bars. SGPC member Karnail Singh Panjoli
rued that it was illogical and wrong that even a Sikh Prime Minister
had not been able to gauge the seriousness of the issue. The
patience of the entire community has been placed on test, he said.
Casting aspersions on the seriousness of the ruling Akali Dal-BJP
combine, Harinder Singh Khalsa, a senior member of the Khalsa Action
Committee accused the government for not only being slow to nail the
pseudo-baba but also being hand in glove with this cult which
continues its blasphemous utterances against Sikhs and Sikhism.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhai Jasbir Singh Rode, former Jathedar of
Akal Takht said, that the government of Panjab was an accomplice in
the pseudo-Nirankari case and its present role also shows a similar
tilt in that direction. He said it seems the governments at centre
and Punjab have not learnt any lessons.
Taking a jibe at the administration and the Sirsa dera, the KAC
honoured all Sikh activists including the family of Shaheed
Kanwaljit Singh, who according to the KAC had braved the onslaught
of the pseudo-premis of the Dera.
A number of key resolutions were adopted at today's conference which
saw a large cross section of the Malwa belt of Punjab present at the
conference in full Sikh colours. The Khalsa Action Committee urged
the government of Punjab to reconsider its stand about giving sole
rights of printing and publication of Granth Sahib to the SGPC. The
KAC reiterated its resolve to carry on the struggle against the
Sirsa and Ashutosh cult, which were hell-bent to mislead the Sikhs
and to damage Sikh tradition and philosophy.
Through a resolution the gathering appealed to Akal Takht jathedar
and the SGPC to install the portrait of Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh
Bhindrawale by Nov 23- the day the SGPC is going to elect its new
president.
As the present
Sikh leadership had failed to curb the deterioration of value
systems amongst the Sikhs, the KAC will strive to build a value
system and provide new leadership to the Sikh nation.
Damdami Taksal chairman Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma, Advocate D.S. Gill,
Satnam Singh Paonta Sahib, Baba Hardeep Singh, Baba Gurmeet Singh
and Gurdip Singh Bhatinda also addressed the conference.
