Badal family biggest enemy of
Sikhi, says SYA
WSN Network
 DALLAS:
Sikh Youth of America's Dallas unit has held Punjab Chief MInister
Parkash Singh Badal and his political heir Sukhbir Singh Badal as
directly responsible for the unfortunate incidents in Ludhiana and
has warned the Sikhs against this father-son duo, calling them
enemies of the Sikh quom.
The SYA held an
mergent meeting through teleconference and said the self-styled
babas and sadhs were being ensconsed delibretaely by the Badal
family. The Badals were only nurturing their close ties with the BJP
by creating space for Sirsa sadh and Ashutosh just as they had done
for the Nirankaris in the past.
The SYA said the
same Badal who told his police to fire upon the Sikh protesters took
care to deal with the provocation by thousands of migrant labourers
from Bihar with kid gloves lest he angers the Hindutva lobby.
SYA's Texas unit
senior leaders Gurmel Singh Dhesi, Surinder Singh Gill, Santokh
Singh Khalsa, Narinder Singh, Kashmir Singh, Dhian Singh, Hardeep
Singh, Sahib Singh and Navdeep Singh issued a joint statement saying
the Badal family has retained its anti-Sikh posture consistently and
its friedship with late Lala Jagat Narain, tainted police officers
like Sumedh Saini, communal Hindu leader Harish Bedi, Manoranjan
Kalia, Luxmi Kanta Chawla and L K Advani was hardly a secret.

"The Badal
family has little to do with Sikhi; the blue turban is more of a
necessary burden for Badal to pursue his politics," they said,
adding that Badal wears the proverbial khaki knickers of the RSS and
it was clear from all his actions.
The Sikh Youth
of America paid rich tributes to Darshan Singh Lohara who was killed
in the police firing. It also prayed for the early recovery of all
injured Sikhs who became victims of police firing and brutal
lathicharge. The SYA also asked those who claim affiliation with the
Akali Dal led by Badals to make clear where they stand, and tell the
sangat how their party's alliance with the BJP-RSS was justified?
"Can these NRI
leaders today educate us as to how and what kind of sewa of Sikhism
is this alliance of the SAD and BJP doing? How is this friendship
with leaders like Harish Bedi helping the Sikh panth?"
"The SYA
understands that those speaking up for the Badal-led Akali Dal in
western countries consider a mere photo opportunity with the Badals
as their service to the panth. These are pets of the Badals abroad
and equally responsibly for damaging the Sikhi. The SYA calls upon
the self-respecting Sikhs to make sure that such elements are called
before the sangat and idenitified for what they are worth."
"Similarly, the
Badal family has also been nurturing some of the renegades from the
Sikh movement like Rajinder Mehta, Amarjit Chawla, Bhai Manjit
Singh, Gursewak Singh Harpalpur, Nidharrak Singh Brar who are
forever ready to sing praises of Prakash Singh Badal since they
depend on the crumbs dished out by the Badals," the SYA said.
It appealed to
the Sikh sangat to mete out a crushing defeat to the entrenched
forces in the upcoming elections to the SGPC so that Akal Takht can
be extricated from the clutches of the Badals. Also, the jathedar of
Sri Akal Takht must refrain from playing a role of the interest
watcher of the Badals and thus sullying the great traditions of
Sikhi.
