Jalalabad: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal today said the Congress government still wanted to play politics on the sensitive issue of sacrilege instead of bringing the perpetrators behind this heinous crime to book and this was why it had had not ordered a judicial inquiry into the recent incidents of sacrilege at Sri Harmandar Sahib.
Talking to Media Persons after addressing a huge public gathering here, the SAD President said the very fact that the Congress government had not proceeded to bring the sacrilege perpetrators to book had emboldened them and this was why more such incidents were happening now. “But even now the Congress party has not learnt any lessons. Even now it has ordered a Police inquiry into the recent incidents of sacrilege instead of giving the case to a sitting high court judge to get to the bottom of the entire conspiracy”.
Asserting that the SAD did not want to play politics on this sensitive issue unlike the Congress party, Sukhbir Badal said the government had raised question marks about its intentions by refusing to take concrete action in case of the incident of sacrilege of the Sri Gutka Sahib in the Sri Darbar Sahib sarovar recently. “The culprit was caught and handed over to the police but it failed to take any conclusive action in the case. This deliberate laxity on the part of the Congress government led to an even more revolting case of sacrilege in the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Harmandar Sahib”.
