Akali Dal Demands Dissolution of Delhi Commission for Women

Manjit Singh G.K. writes to Lt. Governor for registering criminal case against Kejriwal and Swati Maliwal

The President of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) Manjit Singh G.K. who is also President of Shiromani Akali Dal in Delhi today demanded dissolving Delhi Commission for Women and constituting a new body. He demanded this in a letter sent to LT. Governor Najeeb Jung, blaming Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Commission for Women chairperson Swati Maliwal for forcing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) worker Soni to commit suicide.

Talking to reporters G.K. raised questions for not giving timely treatment to the victim in Delhi government run Raja Harishchander hospital in Narela. G.K. said Kejriwal who came to power by promising security and safety of women in Delhi is leading the team of his party workers who see women with bad intentions. DSGMC President also said that Kejriwal is anti-women because he suggested Soni to reach a compromise when she complained that she was exploited by party leaders and workers.

He also said that Kejriwal who used to talk hoarse after Nirbhaya incident, and when Bhawri Devi like incident has happened in state where he runs the government, G.K. questioned that will he give compensation of Rs. One crore to the Soni’s family and when will he dismiss the leaders of his party against whom Soni complained.Taking dig on Kejriwal G.K. said that he had time for Gujarat Dalits but no time to meet family of Soni who lives in Narela. He promised to give Rs. One lakh for education of Soni’s children and demanded that the investigation of the case be given to CBI and not SDM.

SAD Delhi President said that DCW is highly politicised as it kept sitting on the complaint lodged by Soni. “I fail to understand why the commission promptly took up case of former captain of hockey team Sardar Singh after a complaint lodged by his female companion when a case was already registered in Ludhiana. The commission has jurisdiction in Delhi but his political intentions touches as far as Punjab which is heading for assembly polls. I have told Lt. Governor that instead of taking care of the rights of women in Delhi, the chairperson prefers to expand her political intentions”, G.K.

G.K. also said that incase the victim was given timely treatment in the hospital she could have been saved but she was denied this right also under the pressure of AAP workers.

 He appealed to the Lt. Governor to book Kejriwal and Swati Maliwal under section 306 of Indian penal code. He added that action by Delhi Commission for Women in a case related to Punjab was illegal and immoral.

SAD Secretary General in Delhi Harmeet Singh Kalka, Senior Akali leaders Avtar Singh Hit and Onkar Singh Thapar, DSGMC senior Vice President Mahinder Pal Singh Chadha, Vice President Satpal Singh, Joint Secretary Amarjeet Singh Fateh Nagar, Members Kulmohan Singh, Ravinder Singh Khurana, Harvinder Singh K.P, Harjinder Singh, Paramjit Singh Chandok, Chaman Singh, Hardev Singh Dhanoa, Dheeraj Kaur, Jeet Singh and SAD Spokesman Parminder Pal Singh and Jaswinder Singh Jolly were also present.

DSGMC President Write to Home Minister - Demanded Registration of FIR Against Kamal Nath

New Delhi 5 August 2016 –

The President of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) Manjit Singh G.K. today wrote a letter to the Home Minister Government of India Rajnath Singh demanding registration of case against Congress leader Kamal Nath for his involvement in attack on Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib in 1984 after killing of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

In an eleven page letter G.K. presented facts to support his complaint and demanded that Special investigation team (SIT) constituted by the union government or the local police should register FIR against Kamal Nath because two innocent Sikhs were killed in the attack on Gurdwara Sahib.

Speaking to the media today in Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib Manjit Singh G.K. said that the attack on Gurdwara Sahib on 1 November 1984 was led by Kamal Nath. Referring to a book by Indian Express Journalist Sanjay Suri DSGMC President said that Kamal nath was part of the mob that came from Teen Murti. During the attack A.C.P. Gautam Kaul and Hukam Chand Jatav along with C.R.P.F. jawans were also present who never stopped the mob, and it was a pre-planned attack.

G.K. said that the journalist has narrated the incident before Nanavati and RangNath Mishra commissions. He said the explanation given by Kamal Nath in his defense before the two commissions was full of lies.  DSGMC President who is also President of Shiromani Akali Dal in Delhi said that national news network doordarshan has shown mob raising slogans of “Khoon ka badla Khoon” and Kamal Nath entering the Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib with the mob and killing of two innocent Sikhs was not a coincidence.

DSGMC president said that the rumors spread to create hatred against the Sikhs were part of the pre-planned strategy to eliminate Sikhs with the help of government paraphernalia. He announced that the DSGMC will continue its fight for justice to the Sikhs and arrest of Kamal Nath. Replying to a question from media G.K. said that incase the Union Home Minister didn’t order registration of FIR against Kamal Nath despite it being a strong case, he would approach the court seeking directions for registration of FIR against Kamal Nath.

On the occasion DSGMC Senior Vice President Mahinder Pal Singh Chadha, Vice President Satpal Singh, Senior Akali leader Avtar Singh Hit, DSGMC Members Kulmohan Singh, Paramjit Sngh Rana, Tanwant Singh, Paramjit Singh Chandok, Samardeep Singh Sunny, Gurmeet Singh Lubana and Hardev Singh Dhanoa, spokesperson Parminder Pal Singh and legal advisor Jaswinder Singh Jolly were also present.

Delhi CM Wants India Today Booked for Hurting Sikh Sentiments

Magazine Cover Row: Sirsa Demands Kejriwal, Chhotepur’s Apology

Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee General Secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Friday 15th July 2016  slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur for claiming party national convener Arvind Kejriwal was “insulted” on being shown dressed as a ‘nihang’ on a magazine cover.

Claiming Chhotepur’s statement had exposed “mental hollowness” of AAP leaders, Sirsa said: “The photograph has not insulted Kejriwal. It has insulted Sikh community and customs by portraying a clean-shaven person in the attire of a practising Sikh.”

Sirsa said instead of further hurting Sikh sentiments by indulging in “fake rhetoric”, Kejriwal and Chhotepur should offer an unconditional public apology to the community.

S.Manjinder Singh Sirsa :Chief Minister of Delhi Sh. Arvind Kejriwal should desist from seeking political mileage from the wounds of the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh massacre

Chandigarh, 14July: 
 The declaration made by Chief Minister of Delhi Sh. Arvind Kejriwal about the repairing of the flats of 1984 anti-Sikh massacre victims; can clutch him into another controversy for him. The amount declared by the chief minister for this purpose is so meager that not to speak of repairing, the flats of the victims can not even be white-washed with this amount. 

 Delhi government was forced to made this declaration regarding repairing of the flats of the victims due to the constant and unrelenting struggle of S. Manjinder Singh Sirsa, General Secretary of DSGMC and Advisor to Dy. CM Punjab with State Minister Rank; about the help of the victims but the victims don't seem to be much enthusiastic about this declaration since the amount declared for this purpose is too meager to properly repair their flats. For the last 2 years, S. Manjinder Singh Sirsa had written more than a dozen letters to the chief minister, apprising him about the grave situation being faced by the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh massacre and asking for sufficient help from Delhi government. In his letters, Sh. Sirsa threw light upon the issues of providing justice to the families of the victims, punishing the guilty of this massacre, need for waiving off the water and electricity bills in the colonies of the victims, repairing/renovation of the flats and cleanliness in the colony, providing employment to the youth turning adult in age, the progress of Punjabi language, appointments of Punjabi teachers and other issues related to the Sikh community. 

 Sh. Sirsa appealed that Mr. Kejriwal should desist from seeking political mileage from the wounds of the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh massacre. He said that helping these victims is the moral and constitutional responsibility of the Delhi government, which is not being fulfilled by the state government. But its chief minister remains eager to find opportunities to politicize the issues related to these victims. Delhi government should declare 1st November as "Black Day" and also should actually observe the day as a black day, the qualified members of the victims families should be instantly provided with government jobs, their debts should be waived off and the electricity connections being disconnected should be stopped immediately. Kejriwal government has been ignorant about most of the demands of the victims, due to which the life of the victim families has become very difficult. Sh. Manjinder Singh Sirsa termed the amount declared by Sh. Kejriwal for repairing of flats as "highly disappointing". Such meager amount is sufficient for proper repairing of the flats. Mr. Kejriwal remains eager to take political advantage from each and every issue but he never fully solves the problem from its roots. The same will happen in the case of repairing of the flats. Sh. Sirsa stated that the ironic aspect of Mr. Kejriwal's petty and dangerous politics is that the AAP leader is not an actual sympathizer of the Sikhs. Rather, he repeatedly exposes his lust for grabbing the political power. The same is being done by him in Delhi as well as in Punjab. The AAP leader wants to win the Punjab elections only by politicizing Sikh issues but his tricks won't be successful. Mr. Kejriwal has openly taken anti-Sikh stand in many issues like comparing AAP's election manifesto with Guru Granth Sahib, demolishing the decades old heritage Piao of Gurdwara Sis Ganj in Chandni Chowk, removing Punjabi language from the list of compulsory subjects in Delhi government's schools and taking anti-Punjab stand in Supreme Court in the issue of SYL canal. The people of Punjab have comprehended the highly complex reality of Mr. Kejriwal's politics, due to which he won't be successful in the elections of Punjab assembly.
