Were Bluestar and 84 massacre your tributes to Sikh Gurus, Sukhbir asks Priyanka

Bathinda, May 14 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal said here on Tuesday that as grand daughter of Indira Gandhi who rolled tanks into Harmandar Sahib, demolished Sri Akal Takhat Sahib and desecrated hundreds of sacred saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, Priyanka Gandhi's "hypocritical drama on sacrilege was like devil citing scriptures for his purpose. "
" Tomorrow, Amarinder might as well invite the descendants of Ahmad Shah Abdali to shed tears on the demolition of Akal Takhat sahib or desecration of our only scriptures. There is no end to how far the Congress, Amarinder and the Gandhi family can go in adding insult to Sikh injury," said the Akali chief.
Talking about Priyanka Gandhi's "insane outbursts, Sukhbir Singh Badal said,"Priyanka arrogantly misquoted our beloved poet to say that Punjab is neither Hindu nor Musslmaan: Punjab breathes and lives on the sacred name of the great Gurus. But she did not tell us why Indira Gandhi chose the anniversary of one of the great Guru Sahibaan, Guru Arjan Dev ji Maharaj's martyrdom to launch a bloody army assault on Harmandar Sahib in 1984 brutally killing thousands of innocent devotees and destroying the highest seat of religio-political authority of the Khalsa Panth. Was that Indira's tribute to the Guru's sacred name?"asked Sukhbir.
