Chandigarh, July 12

In an indication of the party high command’s efforts to bring Capt Amarinder Singh and Navjot Sidhu on the same page, the latter on Monday took on the Badals on the issue of sacrilege.

Sidhu wondered why no proper inquiry was conducted by the Badal government into the theft of “Bir of Guru Granth Sahib” at Burj Jawahar Singh Wala village on June 1, 2015, which led to sacrilege, followed by protests and firing in October 2015.

In a series of tweets, Sidhu said no action was taken by the Badal government during two years in sacrilege cases before the 2017 elections.

“Why no action against fabrication of evidence in Behbal Kalan firing incident? How escort gypsy of SSP Charanjit Sharma was taken to workshop of Pankaj Bansal & with gun of Sohail Brar bullet marks planted on jeep – to show police fired in self defence? Who ordered this?” Sidhu said.

He said he had asked every relevant question over the past few months on ‘be-adabi’ issue to everyone, who should be held accountable in the last six years. “Questions must be asked to the real Culprits, the Badals,” Sidhu tweeted.
