Chandigarh, May 23 , 2021
Lashing out at the Captain government, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly, Harpal Sing Cheema termed it as a ‘double sacrilege’, stating that Captain Amarinder Singh and his ministers had taken false oath of Sri Gutka Sahib, for action against those responsible for the desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji at Bargari and other places. Cheema said that now with the 2022 elections looming, Captain Amarinder Singh and his ministers were pretending to be in a tussle to divert the attention of the people. He said that by running sand and mining, transport, drug, land and liquor mafias in his government for over four years now, the Congress ministers and leaders were trying to fool the people by pretending to be truthful.
Cheema said that the Aam Aadmi Party had from the very beginning raised its voice against those who had disrespected Sri Guru Granth Sahib and against those who defended the accused, but now the Congress ministers and leaders who were pretending to be true; never supported the Aam Aadmi Party on this issue. Taking a dig at the Congress ministers, Cheema asked them to state what pressure they had put on the Chief Minister apart from making press statements to get justice for the Guru Granth Sahib sacrilege. He said that during the proceedings of the Assembly, Ministers Sukhjinder Randhawa and Charanjit Singh Channi had pretended to beg for justice from Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh but when they came out, they were again part of the same government. Cheema said that these same ministers had come to Bargari Morcha promising justice but after coming back to Chandigarh, they forgot all promises while enjoying the ministry of Captain.
The LoP further said that when the faith of the ministers was lost from their cabinet, then no government had any right to stay in power. Cheema recalled that when Captain Amarinder Singh, facing Takht Sri Damdama Sahib and holding Sri Gutka Sahib in his hand; took a false oath, many of these ministers were standing on the stage supporting Captain. He said that in fact the Akalis and the Congress were in collusion and for the last 70 years, they had been trying to get power by diverting the people of Punjab from the real issues. Cheema said that it was due to the connivance of Akali-Congress that even after 70 years of independence, the people of Punjab had failed to get any kind of justice.
Cheema said that the people of Punjab were now aware and would retaliate against the leaders responsible for their Guru’s disrespect and those who saved the accused. Talking about the questions being raised by the Congress MLAs against Captain Amarinder Singh, the AAP leader said that the people of Punjab were now disturbed by the bogus statements and were hoping for a meaningful step. He said that Navjot Singh Sidhu and Pargat Singh were raising questions against their government but they were still holding the seat of MLA. Cheema said that Navjot Singh Sidhu and Pargat Singh should immediately resign from this mafia and the government which was protecting the culprits for desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
