‘Missing Sri Guru Granth Sahib copies’: SGPC failed to take action: Sikh, farmer bodies seek probe; protest on Dec 7

Dallewal announced a large-scale demonstration on December 7 that would be held in Amritsar, to press for accountability and action.

He also demanded that the Punjab Police, under the leadership of the Director General of Police (DGP), initiate a fair and thorough investigation. “We demand a transparent inquiry from the Punjab Police. If no concrete actions are taken by the police administration by December 7, we will intensify our protests.”

Baldev Singh Wadala, another leader at the press meet, accused the administration of suppressing those raising their voices for justice.

Wadala was referring to a protest that took place on October 24, 2020. The individuals demanding accountability regarding the missing birs were allegedly subjected to filing of false charges and physical assault.

Recalling his vow during the farmers’ hunger strike, Dallewal reiterated that he had promised to raise this issue again if he survived the protests. He also pointed out that despite directives from the court, no significant actions have been taken.

Dallewal also claimed that the BJP leaders denied appointments regarding the issue.

At the press meet, he issued a strong warning regarding any potential tampering with the sacred copies. He said that any attempts to alter or damage the revered texts would lead to serious consequences. “We will decide on the next course of action during this gathering, and we are committed to ensuring that the sanctity of our holy scriptures is protected.”
