MLA Jarnail Singh (Rajouri Garden): Statment After Suspension From The AAM AADMI Party

     

After being removed from the membership of the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, Jarnail Singh (Rajouri Garden) gave the following statement –

“There has been an online campaign for the conversion of Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar to a Mandir. Few individuals were making these remarks online.

My son has been using my phone for online classes. He came across an online discussion and copy-pasted a reply from that discussion on my Facebook wall accidentally. I soon as I found out, I clarified my stance that I respect all religions. I then deleted that post since I found that post distasteful.

I follow the teachings of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib and respect all religions. However, I did find the comments about the Harmandir Sahib distasteful and that is something I cannot accept.

In terms of my removal from the Aami Aadmi Party, I still have not come to know the reason.

I came to know that the party (Aam Aadmi Party) is deliberating upon action against me. I did not take it seriously as I knew they would contact me for clarification. I only came to know that I have been removed from the membership through an online message posted on Facebook.”

The reason for Jarnail Singh’s removal was stated as the usage of demeaning words towards Hindu deities.

“The Aam Aadmi Party is a secular organization and it has no place for anyone who uses derogatory terminology towards any religion. The Sikh community is also in grief over Jarnail Singh’s statement as whoever holds such sentiments towards other religion is against the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Dev Ji,”.
