SAD PRESIDENT DARES SIDHU, CHANNI, RNDHAWA, JAKHAR TO EMERGE FROM THE "COMPROMSIE CORNER'" AND OPPOSE THE DECISION
" TIMING OF DECISION ON THE EVE OF '84 MASSACRE ANNIVERSARY SHOWS EXTREME INSENSITIVITY, RUBBING FRESH SALT INTO SIKH WOUNDS "
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Sidhu and Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit SIngh Channi to show the moral courage to oppose this decision and get it rescinded.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.
