CHANDIGARH: The Shiromani Akali Dal( Punch Pardhani) led by Daljit Singh Bittu Tuesday accused Punjab Governmetn for protected anti Sikh and anti Punjab forces.
Daljit Singh Bittu and Harpal Singh Cheema member of presidium told media persons here that starting from 1978 Badal had been protecting Nirankari Chief and safe guarding Sirsa dera chief. They also blamed Badal for protecting high officials accused of genocide in Punjab to scuttling former Akal Takhat Jathedhar Bhai Gurdev singh Kaunke's disappearance enquiry and dismantling of People's Commission.
They have also presented before newsmen a copy of statement presented by Punjab government in the Supreme Court.
They said that now while in power Badal was protecting Sumedh Saini an alleged mass murderer.
They said that, Prof. Deviderpal Singh Bhullar was sentenced to death bypassing the law of land. Not only the Sikhs but all other communities and all justice loving people in Punjab, India and abroad Protested against this judicial murder.
All political parties in Punjab including Badal Akali Dal were members of the Defence Committee Formed in defence of Prof. Bhullar, Many MPs of Europe and US came to his defence and Akal Takhat issued a Hukamnama to Sikhs to pray for release of Prof. Bhullar.
They further said that, the entire Sikh Panth is one voice for release of Prof. Bhullar but Badal, as usual has been playing a double game. On one side Badal meets the Prime Minister for Bhullar's release and on the other side he urges the Supreme Court to expedite the hanging.
A few days back, The Punjab & Haryana HC issued a notice to CBI to register a case against Saini for abduction of Prof. Bhullar's father, Uncle and Balwant Singh Multani, S/O retired IAS office. Badal's govt. engaged a top most Supreme Court Lawyer Harish Salve and obtained a stay on HC order.
In the affidavit it is stated that Prof. Bhullar is a hardcore & experienced criminal who needed to be hanged immediately and HC case against Mr. Saini is a ploy to delay Prof. Bhullar's capital punishment.
Daljit Singh Said held Sumedh Singh Saini responsible for genocide of Sikh youth and he often boasts of eliminating five hundred Sikh youth. Saini is also allegedly responsible for burning alive 4 family members of Bhai Balwinder Singh Jatana of Village Jatana of Ropar District, Including 90 years old grandmother. He is accused for eliminating 4 members of Mata Gurjit Kaur's family of Village Sodhiwal (Zira) of District Ferozepur.
Vinod Kumar (NRI businessman), his brother-in-law Ashok Kumar and Driver Mukhtiar Singh were kidnapped by Sumedh Saini's goons and eliminated for the simple reason that Mr. Vinod was a Partner in Saini Motors Ludhiana, a famous business concern, which was at odds with Mr. Sumedh Saini. The case is pending in CBI Court Delhi and on Nov 9, 2007 charges U/S 342, 343, 364 & 120-B IPC were framed against Mr. Saini And others.
Instead of suspending Saini under rule 3 of All India Service, Discipline and Appeals Rules 1969, the Punjab Govt. has been continuously elevating Saini's position and Badal is projecting him as the next DGP Punjab. These are just a few prominent cases and hundreds of such cases remain dormant due to police terror and govt. pressures, they added.
