Mann wants separate courts for
minorities, blasts Badal men
WSN Network
CHANDIGARH:
Akali Dal (Mann) president Simranjit Singh Mann has advocated
setting up separate courts for the minorities in
India.
He also appealed to Sikhs raise thier voice against injustice being
meted to them, for which he took the community’s leadership to task,
but did not offer any explanations as to why his own party fighting
for exactly these causes could not produce any worthwhile results
after years.
Mann, addressing
a press conference in
Chandigarh on
Saturday, also vented his anger at the recent judgment of the
Punjab
and Haryana High Court, which set aside a previous notification of
the Punjab Government to decree that Sikhs were not a minority in
Punjab.
Mann said that
certain ground realities seemed to have been ignored and the
minority status was based on national population and could not be
computed state wise. He held Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh
Badal, SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar and
Punjab’s
Advocate General H.S. Mattewal guilty for their failure to defend
the interests of the community on such a vital legal matter.
