Amritsar, Aug 17 (IANS) The President of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), Harjinder Singh Dhami, on Wednesday strongly condemned the act of an alleged Congress worker, Karamjit Singh, visiting the Golden Temple here for getting his photograph clicked wearing a t-shirt with a photo of Congress leader Jagdish Tytler.
According to Dhami, Jagdish Tytler is the main accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi who can never be forgiven by the Sikh community.
"Visiting the Golden Temple while wearing a t-shirt with Tytler's picture on it is an act of annoying the Sikhs," said Dhami.
He added that Karamjit Singh, who is based in Amritsar, is a representative of the Congress, which makes it clear that this was part of a deliberate conspiracy.
As per the SGPC President, the Congress has always remained anti-Sikh. Their attack on Golden Temple in 1984 and the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi can never be forgotten.
Dhami said the Golden Temple is the main shrine of Sikhs, which is also a centre of devotion for many people around the world. As the Sikh community pays obeisance here, Jagdish Tytler's image cannot be tolerated and the SGPC must take action regarding this.
Meanwhile, SGPC Assistant Secretary Media Kulwinder Singh Ramdas said that as per the instructions of Dhami, a police complaint against Karamjit Singh has been lodged by the manager of the Golden Temple with the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
"As per CCTV footage, the accused person entered the 'parkarma' (circumambulation) via the entrance towards Akal Takht Sahib and returned without paying obeisance after getting his objectionable photograph clicked in front of the Atta Mandi side entrance, with the Golden Temple in the background. It is clear from his activity that this person had deliberately come to commit this mischief and not to pay obeisance at the Guru's house," the DCP said.
Responding to the question of Samajwadi Party Member Rewati Raman Singh, the Minister of State, Health, Bharati Pawar said that altogether, 22 All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are being set up in the country. Out of 10 proposed in the first phase, six have started functioning with all departments.
Along with this, the party has also started a digital membership campaign. This was announced on Sunday at the workers' conference in Jaipur. The AAP announced fresh beginnings for the election preparations from this conference.
Making an announcement in a video message, he said the Aam Aadmi Party government's scheme is aimed at providing good quality ration 'atta' (wheat flour) and 'daal' (pulses) to the people packed in clean gunny bags.
About 105.14 lakh farmers have been benefited with an MSP value of Rs 1,45,358.13 crore, government data showed. Apart from Punjab (1,87,28,335 MT) and Chhattisgarh (92,01,000 MT), the other top paddy procurement states included Telangana (70,22,000 MT), Uttar Pradesh (65,53,029 MT) Odisha (57,16,134), Haryana (55,30,596), Madhya Pradesh (45,82,610), and Bihar (44,90,319 MT).
The bank employees organised demonstrations, sit-in protests, processions and rallies near their workplaces in different cities and towns protesting against the privatisation of banks undertaken by the Centre.
While complimenting the enforcement officers, he said their hands-on approach has led to large number of seizures in the state of fake and smuggled goods. He was speaking at an interactive session by FICCI CASCADE on the 'Strategies' to combat smuggling and counterfeiting, here.
