Punish those behind the desecration of Guru Granth sahib and firing incidents: AAP

Chandigarh, February 4 : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on the occasion of anniversary of the Nakodar desecration incident (February 4, 1986) has demanded that the government should make the Justice Gurnam Singh Repot public and bring those behind the incidents to justice. In a statement issued from party headquarters in Chandigarh here on Monday, leader of opposition (LoP) in Punjab Vidhan Sabha.

That the government should make the Justice Gurnam Singh Report in connection with the desecration and firing incidents at Nakodar through the floor of the House. Making his party’s stand categorically clear, Cheema said that AAP stood solidly behind its continuous fight to buy justice for the aggrieved families.Cheema said that the incidents of desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Bargari and firing incident at Behbal Kalan in 2015 reminded of the blood carnage occurred in 1984.

The police had opened fire on the peaceful protestors at Nakodar in which four Sikh youth were killed. What to speak of speeding up the process of justice delivery, the Captain Government had not even made the report of findings by Justice Gurnam Singh commission constituted to bring those behind it to justice even as two years had rolled by since it assumed power, Cheema said.

Cheema accused the government holding the fort in the state, of shielding those behind the sacrilegious acts. It may be recalled that the then SSP of Jalandhar Izhar Alam and the additional DGP Darbara Singh Guru, who were now Akali Dal leaders and had contested Assembly elections on the party ticket, which were pointers to the fact that why government was resorting to delay the process.  Cheema said the government would not be allowed to keep the report under the wrap any more.
