Amritsar, June 21

Dr Jaswinder Singh Dhillon, who reportedly joined the BJP recently, was dismissed from the post of the honorary secretary on Monday, as per a unanimous decision taken during the meeting of the Chief Khalsa Diwan Educational Committee. Members of the Educational Committee strongly condemned Dr Jaswinder Singh Dhillon for joining the political party, which they said has been ‘anti-panth’ and ‘anti-farmers’.

President, CKD, Nirmal Singh, said during the last eight months of the farmers’ agitation on the borders of Delhi, the Central Government was directly responsible for the physical and mental torture being afflicted to the protestors. “Nearly 500 farmers have been martyred due to the bigotry of the central government. To join a political party with an ideology opposed to the CKD is against the sentiment of pro-peasant movement that Chief Khalsa Diwan is supporting. It is a betrayal and disgrace to the Sikh community,” he said.

All members jointly condemned this anti-panth and anti-farmer decision of Dr Jaswinder Singh Dhillon.
