KAC, Dal Khalsa march for 1978
Martyrs
WSN Bureau
 AMRITSAR: To voice
anger against activities of the pseudo-cults of Nirankaris,
Ashutoshias and Sirsa Dera, the Khalsa Action Committee and Dal
Khalsa undertook a ‘Khalsa March’ to "expose their nefarious designs
and conspiracies.”
The occasion was the 31st anniversary of the incident when 13
Sikhs led by Akand Kirtani Jatha leader Bhai Fauja Singh fell to the
bullets of pseudo- Nirankaris while they are protesting against the
latter’s blasphemous speeches in the heart of Amritsar
on 13 April 1978.
The Sikh bodies through a resolution steadfastly maintained
that no disrespect to Guru Granth Sahib will be tolerated. The march
was flagged off by Akal Takht Jathedar Gaini Gurbachan Singh.
Paying tributes to 13 Sikhs the gathering described them as martyrs
of faith. Hundreds of Dal Khalsa activists were carrying placards
and large size banners displaying pictures of militant leaders
including Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale, Sukhdev Singh Babbar,
Talwinder Singh Babbar, Wadhawa Singh Babbar and many others.
Gigantic pictures of Sant Bhindrawale, Sukhdev Singh Babbar,
Bhai Ranjit Singh beside those of the 13 martyrs Sikhs were
displayed on a float in the march. Placards with pics of 3 Sikhs
killed by Sirsa Dera and Bibi Parveen Kaur presently under detention
were also part of the parade.
The gathering observed that the anti-Sikh network of likes of
Gurmeet Ram Rahim, Aushotosh would have to be curtailed and smashed
to uphold the fundamentals of Sikhism. The gathering sought a
complete ban on Sirsa dera, DJJS, and complicity of those police and
civil officers supporting these cults to be scrutinized.
While addressing the spirited gathering, Harcharnjit Singh
president of the Dal Khalsa said that the edict issued against
Nirankaris (10 June 1978), DJJS and Sirsa Dera (17 May 2007) from
the Akal Takht was relevant and we expect from SAD that it will
respect it in letter and spirit even during election period.
We want to live in a cordial atmosphere but the state puts in
hurdles and obstacles, said KAC convenor Bhai Mohkam Singh.
