Delay in resolution of missing swaroop case brewing anger among Sikh community: AAP

Chandigarh, Nov (UNI) Speaking on the issue of the missing swaroops and the ineffectiveness of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (SGPC) to resolve the issue, AAP Punjab Kisan Union President and MLA Kultar Singh Sandhwan appealed to the Akal Takht jathedar to take immediate action and resolve the issue.
He said that the delay in finding a resolution to the issue, despite repeated requests by the Sikh community, is increasing the anger among the Sikh community. This has the possibility of making the situation more tense in the future. Sandhwan appealed that investigation needs to be conducted under the purview of retired Sikh judges and strict actions need to be taken against the accused.
Sandhwan said that the government and SGPC is fighting tooth and nail to protect the people involved in this case. He said that SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal and his predecessors have always been mere pawns of the Badals and now they have become the image of corruption themselves. The recent example of this is the case of Manjinder Singh Sirsa, a close associate of the Badals, on whom the courts have issued an order to file cases of corruption for his involvement in siphoning off money from the Gurudwaras of Delhi. Sandhwan said that just like this the close associates of the Badals have always siphoned off funds from the Gurudwaras for their own personal gains because of which the Sikh community will never forgive them.
