Bargari stir from July 1 if ‘justice not delivered’

Tribune News Service

Faridkot, June 1

As the justice in three sacrilege incidents and two police firing cases of 2015 in the district remained evasive for the past six years, leaders of various Sikh religious-cum-political groups today announced to resume their agitation at Bargari on July 1 if the government failed to do justice in the next 30 days.

To mark the anniversary of the theft of a “saroop” of Guru Granth Sahib from a gurdwara in Burj Jawahar Singh Wala village of Faridkot on June 1, 2015, various Sikh and AAP party leaders today reached the gurdwara, accusing the state government of denying justice in the sacrilege and police firing cases.

Accusing the state government of taking no action against the erring police officials who killed two innocent Sikh protesters on October 14, 2015, and not solving the mystery around the theft and desecration of “bir” of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, those speaking at the occasion alleged that all these incidents were part of a well-planned conspiracy. Leaders alleged that the Congress was deliberately soft-pedalling these emotive and religious issues. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” they said.
