Sikh bodies took Panjab Government to task

Amritsar December 07th, 2009

Responding to the call of Damdami Taksal for Punjab shutdown on Dec 7, scores of activists of various organizations took out a joint procession on the streets and lanes of Amritsar to protest against the killing of Darshan Singh Lohara in Ludhiana on Dec 5. The demonstrators shouted slogans condemning the Punjab government for allowing the DJJS head Aushotosh to visit Punjab to address his followers.

It is pertinent to mention that one person was killed and 12 injured when police fired bullets on Sikhs protesting against the blasphemous activities of Nurmehal based DJJS.

The protestors shouted “Punjab Sarkar Murdabad”, “The BJP Murdabad” on their entire route. Talking with media persons at Hall gate, Damdami Taksal spokesperson Mohkam Singh, Dal Khalsa leader Kanwarpal Singh, Youth Federation leader Dr Gurjinder Singh blamed the chief minister for bowing to the dictates of the BJP. They demanded tough action Deputy Commissioner of Ludhiana and the police officer who fired bullets on protestors.

Sikh Students Federation activists led by Amarjit Singh burnt the effigy of BJP and Aushotosh at Hall Gate. Bibi Sandeep Kaur of Dharam Singh Khalsa Trust also participated.

Kanwar Pal Singh said the police resorted to unprovoked firing, which was a repeat of the incident of Baisakhi Day in 1978 when neo-Nirankari activists had opened fire killing 13 Sikh protesters, leading to an era of unrest in the State. “Even then Mr. Badal was the Chief Minister,” he said.

Blaming both Congress and the BJP for patronizing the self-styled godmen, he warned national political parties to desist from playing with fire.
