Sharpening his attack on the Congress, the president of SAD, Sukhbir Singh Badal, said that the 1984 Sikh genocide has not been forgotten by the nation.
He termed the developments as "worse than the draconian days of the Emergency."
In a far-reaching development, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Badal was on Friday indicted by Akal Takht, the supreme temporal seat of Sikhs.
Speaking to a crowd at the Shaheed Baba Gurbax Singh Jee gurdwara on the grounds of Akal Takht on the 103rd anniversary of SAD's founding, Sukhbir expressed regret
Badal revealed that an additional 10 to 15 SGPC members who had stood with Bibi Jagir Kaur were poised to rejoin the SAD in the forthcoming days. He also urged all leaders who had previously departed from the party to reunite under the SAD's banner
The SAD chief also expressed deep concern over the suspension of visa services for travel from Canada to India.
The SAD leader said prime among these included the breaking of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) by creating a separate Gurdwara Committee for Haryana besides interfering in the SGPC elections.
The SAD president said that the people are no longer safe and secured in rural and urban alike Punjab because of steep hikes in the cases of extortion and ransom.
“I thank Akal Purakh, Khalsa Panth and SGPC members for giving a resounding rebuff to anti Sikh conspirators and their stooges by reposing faith in Akali Dal and SGPC poll today,” said SAD chief.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday gave a clarion call for a "main front", comprising the Congress, to oust the BJP in 2024 parliamentary polls.
