CHANDIGARH, May 19: World Sikh Council President and retired judge of the Supreme Court Justice Kuldip Singh declared that he had no political ambitions.
Reacting sharply to the statement of Punjab CPI general secretary Dr Joginder Dayal that Justice Kuldip Singh had joined Sikh hard liners to make money and lead a luxurious life, the latter remarked: "It’s a highly irresponsible statement. In fact, it is naked abuse born out of frustration." The retired judge categorically stated, "I have no political ambitions." Replying to a pressman’s query whether he was looking forward to a seat in the Rajya Sabha, he said, "not as of now".
Responding to another charge that he had joined those trying to revive terrorism, he said: "We at the World Sikh Council are dead against all forms of terrorism. We want peace and rule of law in Punjab." he said.
