AMRITSAR: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami, reacting to the announcement of Dera Sirsa chief to open a Dera in Mansa, has demanded the government to immediately stop its activities.
Advocate Dhami said that the character of Dera Sirsa chief Ram Rahim is anti-social and the charges leveled against him are very serious. Convicted in rape and murder cases, Ram Rahim is also the main accused in blasphemy cases.
He said that the announcement by this controversial person to open a camp in Punjab has hurt the Sikh sentiments and this may spoil the peaceful atmosphere of Punjab.
He said that the Punjab government should play its role responsibly on this very serious matter and resolve that no branch of Dera Sirsa should be established in Punjab.
The SGPC President said that the Sikh mentality is being hurt by repeatedly granting parole to Ram Rahim, who is imprisoned due to his bad character and activities, and now it is a conspiracy to announce the opening of a camp in Mansa.
He said that the Sikh community will never tolerate this act of his. The government should not allow the perpetrators of such acts to play with the religious sentiments of the people.
He clarified once again that any activity of Dera Sirsa chief Ram Rahim in Punjab will not be accepted.
Advocate Dhami demanded from the central and state governments to stop the speech on the occasion of the parole of this person who is facing felony charges.
