Sukhbir alleges false cases against DSGMC chief
Description
Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government of a ‘witch-hunt’ against Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president Manjinder Singh Sirsa “by registering a false case against him”. Badal alleged Sirsa was being targeted for providing ‘langar sewa’ and other humanitarian aid to the farmers in the ongoing protest at the Delhi border. Punjabis across the world were aghast at the strong arm tactics being used by the central government to intimidate all those who were supporting the protest, Badal claimed, adding the Centre was after the DSGMC because it was at the forefront in providing aid to the farm movement. “The DSGMC had been providing langar to farmers from the very first day at the Singhu border on November 26 and continues to do so,” he claimed.
