Amritsar: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has decided to install portrait of suicide bomber Dilawar Singh, who killed former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh, at the Central Sikh Museum inside the Golden Temple tomorrow.
Conforming the development, Sulakhan Singh, the manager of the Harmandir Sahib said that the portrait will be installed during a special ceremony by SGPC on Tuesday here.
The move came days after Kamaldeep Kaur sister of Balwant Singh Rajoana, was fielded as candidate from the Sangrur bypoll by Shiromani Akali Dal Badal, which controls SGPC.
Dilawar Singh, former Punjab police, had tied a belt of explosives around his waist and killed CM Beant Singh and 16 others at the Punjab Civil Secretariat on August 31, 1995.
The Akal Takht had declared Dilawar Singh as ‘Qaumi Shaheed’ (martyr of the community) in 2012.
