Today, Youth Akali Dal President S. Sarabjeet Singh Jhinjer strongly condemned the Aam Aadmi Party and said that AAP has, in reality, turned into a criminal party. He stated that ever since this party came to power in Punjab, the law and order situation in the state has completely collapsed. Daylight thefts, open murders, robberies and dacoities have become routine.
S. Jhinjer said that the “Saam-Daam-Dand-Bhed” statement given by Manish Sisodia is open proof of the kind of cheap and coercive politics that Aam Aadmi Party wants to impose in Punjab. He alleged that since the formation of the AAP government, more than 100 incidents of sacrilege have taken place in Punjab.
The “broom government” has only done politics on sensitive issues like drugs and sacrilege, but in the last four years it has done no meaningful work for development or public welfare. The government has remained limited to advertisements and hollow speeches.
S. Jhinjer said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia are directly responsible for ruining the atmosphere of Punjab. Speaking on the issue of 328 holy saroops, he clarified that according to the commission’s report, this is not a case of sacrilege, but a financial scam carried out in collusion with some corrupt employees and officials.
The holy saroops were given to the sangat, but the due offerings were neither deposited in the trust funds nor were bills issued. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has already taken departmental action against 16 accused in this matter.
This is not a case of sacrilege, but of tampering with the holy saroops. He alleged that among these 16 accused is Jaspreet Singh, who was suspended by the SGPC, yet the Aam Aadmi Party appointed him as District President of Amritsar.
No questions were raised on this at any level. S. Jhinjer said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is hatching disgraceful conspiracies to defame the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Badal family by targeting Sikh institutions.
He said that Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal are atheists who do not believe in the existence of God. Bhagwant Mann reaches the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib after consuming alcohol and then goes back on his oath taken in the name of his mother.
Criticising the formation of the SIT, S. Jhinjer said that rattled by the re-emerging strength of Shiromani Akali Dal, the AAP government has constituted a biased SIT to interfere in the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. The sole purpose of this SIT is to falsely implicate S. Sukhbir Singh Badal under the political agenda of Aam Aadmi Party.
He alleged that officers who work at the behest of AAP and hold personal grudges against S. Sukhbir Singh Badal have been deliberately included in the SIT. He levelled serious allegations against CP Gurpreet Singh Bhullar, SP Harpal Singh, SP Gurbans Singh Bains and DSP Beant Juneja, saying that all these officers are working under political pressure.
Jhinjer said that CP Gurpreet Singh Bhullar of Sri Amritsar Sahib has been made a member of the SIT. When a Pakistani agent, Narayan Singh Chaura, attempted a life-threatening attack on the President of Shiromani Akali Dal in the parikrama of Sri Darbar Sahib, Gurpreet Singh Bhullar did not even register an FIR for six hours. Later, he went on record to say that this attack might have been orchestrated by S. Sukhbir Singh Badal himself to gain public sympathy.
Chaura was granted bail after three months and no challan was presented against him. The second SIT member is SP Harpal Singh, who helped the accused Narayan Singh Chaura in conducting reconnaissance of the place where S. Sukhbir Singh Badal was performing sewa as per the आदेश of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
The third SIT member is SP Gurbans Singh Bains, a tainted officer who was punished in a corruption case during the Akali government and is also a member of the SIT that registered a false case against S. Bikram Singh Majithia. The fourth SIT member is DSP Beant Juneja.
He is the brother of a close leader of AAP’s Manish Sisodia in Patiala and was recently promoted and posted as DSP in Ludhiana. He can register false cases against anyone to please his political masters. They know that if they register cases against opponents of AAP, their jobs will remain secure.
S. Jhinjer said in clear terms that S. Sukhbir Singh Badal is not someone who will be frightened by cowardly threats, and these actions only reflect the panic of the AAP government. Finally, taking a dig at Manish Sisodia and Kejriwal, he said that both have already been to jail in the liquor scam and today they are talking about making Punjab drug-free.
Speaking on Atishi’s controversial statement about the Sikh Gurus, S. Jhinjer said that protests will continue across Punjab until a case is registered against Atishi. In conclusion, Jhinjer appealed to the people of Punjab to protect their communal harmony and religious institutions by distinguishing between truth and falsehood and to remain alert against the conspiracies of the Aam Aadmi Party.
