Chandigarh October 29 -   Shiromani Akal President Sukhbir Singh Badal today blasted the Congress president Sonia Gandhi  for naming Jagdish Tytler , one of the main accused in the massacre  of thousands of  innocent Sikhs, men women in  October- Nov 1984.,  as Permanent  Invite in the party's elite body. 
   
    "This is a brazen display of shocking insensitivity to the Sikh wounds by  Sonia Gandhi and the Congress party. They have chosen the eve  of the painful anniversary of the massacre of Sikhs to announce this decision. Could there  be a worse way to rub salt into the deep,  festering wounds of the Khalsa Panth than this decision  and its timing? " asked Mr Badal in a statement here, adding that  the decision comes   just a couple of days  ahead of the 38th  anniversary of the tragedy.

  Mr. Badal also dared the PPCC Chief  Navjot Singh Sidhu and Punjab Chief Minister  Charanjit SIngh Channi to show the moral courage to oppose this decision and get it rescinded.   " Collapse of character stems from the compromise  corner. Now come out of that corner, show the moral courage to at least speak the truth and prevent the collapse of your character," said Mr Badal in his statement., adding , "Naming Tytler as one of the elite Permanent  Invitees   to the party is  a Permanent is an Insult to the brave and patriotic Sikh community. Will Punjab Congressmen, including Navjot Sidhu, CM Channi, Sukhjinder Randhawa and Sunil Jakhar now awaken their conscience, listen to it, and save the collapse of their character by opposing this decision?"  asked  Mr Badal.
