Baba Bakala, August 27: Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday held the ISI responsible for attacking DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK outside a gurdwara in the US.
Addressing a rally to mark the Rakhar Punia fair here, Sukhbir claimed that the link between the Congress and parallel Jathedars had been exposed. He alleged that one of the attackers had been identified as the son of a witness in the anti-Sikh riots case, who had taken a bribe from Jagdish Tytler and migrated to the US.
He alleged that the attack had been planned by Pakistan’s ISI and executed by the agents of parallel Jathedars, including Dhian Singh Mand and Baljeet Singh Daduwal.
The Akali Dal president alleged that the parallel Jathedars had been colluding with the Congress to weaken the Sikh Panth. He questioned how these jathedars had become rich overnight and started travelling in swanky cars? “They are receiving funds from Germany and other countries as they neither own any farms nor businesses,” he claimed.
Former Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia alleged that another attempt by the Justice Ranjit Singh Commission to concoct evidence about a meeting being held at actor Akshay Kumar’s house in Mumbai had also fallen flat with the actor denying it.
Warning people about the “dangerous politics” being played by the Congress, Majithia said the Congress was the same party that had attacked Sri Darbar Sahib with tanks and mortars and killed a large number of Sikhs in 1984.
Senior Akali leaders Ranjit Singh Brahmpura, Bibi Jagir Kaur and Virsa Singh Valtoha also spoke on “how the Congress is using the Panthic issues to divide the community”.
