Calls for an impartial probe into the incident and immediate release of Bhai Tejinderpal Singh

Amritsar, October 5: The Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj, said that the action taken by Rajasthan Police inside Gurdwara Baba Deep Singh Ji in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, has hurt the sanctity and dignity of the Gurdwara Sahib and Sikh sentiments.

He said that according to the information received, police personnel damaged food supplies in the Gurdwara Sahib’s langar, vandalised property within the Gurdwara premises and tore posters carrying photographs of Qaumi Shaheed Sant Giani Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale and other Shaheed Sikhs. The police have also arrested local Sikh leader S. Tejinderpal Singh.

Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj termed the incident highly condemnable and said strict action should be taken against the police officials responsible. He said that if the police had any issue, it should have acted in accordance with Sikh religious protocol and through lawful procedures, rather than entering a Sikh religious place and carrying out such vandalism.

He asked the Rajasthan chief minister to order an impartial inquiry into the arrest of Bhai Tejinderpal Singh and the entire incident inside the Gurdwara Sahib, and to take action against the police officials responsible for the vandalism inside Gurdwara premises. He said Sikhs would not tolerate injustice against any Sikh leader and said that the government immediately release Bhai Tejinderpal Singh.

Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj further said that a Sikh delegation led by Takht Sri Damdama Sahib Jathedar Giani Tek Singh visited Sri Ganganagar and inspected the site of the incident. The delegation found that the Rajasthan Police carried out a highly objectionable action, he said.
