AAP blamed SAD (Badal) for missing ‘saroops’ of Sri Guru Granth Sahib from the record of SGPC’s publishing house.

Appealing thorough probe, AAP MLA Kultar Singh said instead of SGPC officials, Badals should be questioned in this regard. He said Jathedar Sri Akal Takht should register FIR in case of 328 saroops missing from the publishing house of SGPC so that investigation from the concerned employees can be started which would further throw light on the people having bigger role in this incidence.

“It is an open secret that Badals control the SGPC and there could be a deep conspiracy behind this episode. Instead of SGPC officials, action should be taken against the Badals and they should be excommunicated from the Sikh Path.

Expressing his concern over missing saroops, Kultar Singh said it was quite possible that these saroops might have been misused for political gains. It is quite shocking that a party during whose tenure most of the incidents of sacrilege took place was protesting against the missing historical saroop from village Kalyan in Patiala.

Others present included Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Manjinder Singh Lalpura, Ashok Talwar, Manish Agarwal, Dalbir Singh, Ranjit Singh Cheema.

Dal Khalsa blames SGPC

Amritsar: Reacting on the missing of 328 ‘saroops’of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Dal Khalsa on Tuesday lashed out at the SGPC blaming the institution for committing sacrilege. The Dal Khalsa asserted that the need of the hour was to overhaul and rescue it from the wrong hands.

Party head HS Cheema said once known as a premier institution of the Sikhs, the SGPC had been reduced to the level of a municipal committee infamous for corruption, nepotism and favouritism, courtesy Badals’ dictatorial attitude.
