Chandigarh, July 3
Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Sunday accused the AAP-led government of trying to hush up the matter of 2015 sacrilege incidents related to the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhs.
Warring’s statement came a day after the final report of the Punjab Police on the 2015 desecration cases pinned blame on Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday had handed over the 467-page report of the special investigation team (SIT) of the Punjab Police to Sikh leaders, including Chamkaur Singh and Major Singh Pandori.
Reacting to the SIT report, Warring on Sunday alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government in the state was trying to hush up the sacrilege cases.
“Handing over the report to religious leaders does not certify it of any sanctity or truthfulness and the matter of fact is that you are trying to hush up the matter for the reasons best known to you,” said the Congress leader.
“The AAP government has betrayed all the expectations it had raised among people who voted it to power,” Warring said while warning the government against serious ramifications as the issue is related to emotions and sentiments of millions and millions of Sikhs and followers of Guru Granth Sahib, world over.
Warring, who is the legislator from Gidderbaha, said the AAP government was “following the script” of the then Shiromani Akali Dal government, which had also tried to hush up the matter.
