Khaira calls all-party meet on September 21

BATHINDA: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rebel MLA, Sukhpal Singh Khaira, has announced that he is calling an all-party meet on the Bargari sacrilege issue in Chandigarh on September 21.

He appealed to all political parties and religious lobbies to assert their stand on the fact that the culprits behind the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib in 2015 were still not caught.

“We appeal to all political parties, including the Akali Dal and the ruling Congress, to come and attend the meeting for the sake of the sanctity of the Guru Granth Sahib,” Khaira told a press conference.

“I also appeal to all religious bodies of the Hindus, Christians and Muslims, besides the Sikh organisations to stand up and be counted. It is a matter that concerns Punjab,” he added.

“Capt Amarinder Singh is playing in the hands of the Modi government. Not a single police officer, named as accused in the justice Ranjit Singh (retd) Commission report has been arrested,” he added.

BOYCOTT BADALS, HE TELLS MALOUT RALLY

Khaira held a rally at Malout in Muktsar, along with party MLAS Nazar Singh Mansahia, Jagdev Singh Kamalu, Master Baldev Singh and Pirmal Singh Khalsa.

He appealed to residents to boycott the Badals, accusing them of using citizens for political gains.
