Sikhs seek explanation from BJP OPPOSE INDIAN FLAG HOISTING PLAN

Jammu, Jan 9: Various Sikh organizations on Sunday lashed out at the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), for its proposed plan to hoist tricolor at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on January 26. These groups sought an explanation from the BJP for the alleged involvement of its cadres in “terrorist activities before going ahead with its plan”, reports Greater Kashmir.

Talking to the media persons here, chairman, J&K State Gurudwara Parbandak Board, Sudershan Singh Wazir accused the BJP and the RSS of raising  “hollow slogans” of “pseudo-nationalism.”

“The confessional statement of Swami Asimanand before a magistrate under section 164 of CrPC speaks volume about the anti-national activities of BJP, RSS and other wings all over the country. The Samjohta Express blast along with Makkah Masjid, Ajmer Sharief and Malegaon blasts organized by Inderesh Kumar, Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, Col Purhoit and Sunil Joshi among others exposes the real face of BJP and RSS,” Wazir remarked.

The Sikh leader, who is also the chairman of J&K Sikh United Front, alleged that all these blasts targeting a particular community and demolition of Babri Masjid clearly show the BJP and RSS strategy to hoodwink the “secular minded” Hindus of the country for their vested political interests.

 “The recent game plan of hoisting a tricolor on January 26 in Kashmir is a part of the strategy to keep the flame of hatred alive among the peace loving Kashmiris in particular and Muslims in general,” he maintained.

Wazir alleged that the BJP is going to harm the national interest as well as the interest of the three regions of the state. He warned the BJP of serious consequences in case prevailing peace in the stare is disturbed.

Avtar Singh Khalsa, president of the front condemned the “anti-national” activities of BJP and RSS and warned them to desist from their game plan of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the state by indulging in such type of activities.

The representatives of State Youth Akali Dal, Bhai Kanhiya Nishkam Sewa Society, AISSF and Nirwoh Nirveh Society also warned the BJP of dire consequences if the secular fabric of the country is weakened. They appealed the right thinking people of the country to see through this game plan and defeat all such forces with one voice.(Writer-South Asia)
