Attack on SAD meant to dilute Khalsa Panth identity, says Sukhbir Singh

He expressed sadness over the visuals coming from HSGMC meeting where the members were seen abusing and manhandling each other.

Hailing Sant Longowal as a messiah of peace and communal harmony, Badal said that not only SAD but all coming generations will always be inspired by the example of the great messiah and his commitment to Punjab, Panth and service of humanity.

Badal questioned the silence of so-called “Dharmik Sikh personalities and Jathebandis” over various sacrilege incidents of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in the state in recent days. “Was the religious fervour of these Sikh personalities only a cover for venting poison and spleen on the Akali govt? Where is their religious hurt now when incidents of sacrilege against Sri Guru Granth Sahib are occurring every now and then?”

Lashing out against Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Badal said that the CM and his colleagues have reduced the serious task of governance to a sick joke at a time when the people of Punjab are battling a grave natural tragedy.

“They are cracking jokes while people are forced to abandon their homes and farms, and sleep under the open skies in this inclement weather. While this tragedy goes on, the CM is acting as chauffeur of his master Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal or escorting him to different parts of the country.”
