Sacrilege incidents: Early justice sought

Tribune News Service

Amritsar, July 7

Bhupinder Singh, who has been campaigning against Dera Sacha Sauda since 2017, started a signature campaign for early justice in sacrilege cases on Wednesday.

Flanked by Sukhraj Singh, son of Krishan Bhagwan Singh, who was killed while protesting against the desecration, Bhupinder said he would mobilise the opinion of people in the matter on the website Punjab Mangda Insaaf. He said a petition with signatures of people would be submitted in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Bhupinder said he would visit each district of Punjab and Haryana to mobilise the opinion of Sikh masses.

“In case the need arises, I will visit those countries where Sikhs live in large numbers,” he said.

Bhupinder Singh, who will submit petitions against sacrilege incidents, had demanded justice in nearly 400 desecration cases before the Assembly elections in the state.

Sukhraj said no justice had been given after hundreds of desecration cases and even passage of nearly six years. “It is depressing that the probe report of SIT was quashed and the accused are roaming free,” he said. Sukhraj claimed that the Congress was voted to power in 2017 to give justice in the sacrilege cases, however, it did not live up to voters’ expectations.
