Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee filed a complaint along with the Delhi Police against AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, AAP MLAs/workers and others regarding the incident at the premises of Gurdwara Sri Bangla Sahib during the protests.
Kalka accuses Delhi AAP MLAs of politicising incident
The DSGMC has also filed a complaint with the Delhi Police against AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, party MLAs, workers and others over the incident at the gurdwara premises during the protests. The DSGMC chief also expressed concern over uniformed police personnel moving through the gurdwara complex, saying their presence had hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community. He clarified, however, that the police had not entered the Darbar Sahib, the main prayer hall. “The sight of police personnel walking through the Gurudwara premises hurts the hearts of the Sikh community. Kalka accused AAP MLAs in Delhi of politicising the incident and alleged that the party was linking the matter to Punjab politics instead of addressing the circumstances surrounding the protesters’ entry into the gurdwara. He also urged those sharing videos of the incident on social media not to politicise the matter.
It is absolutely intolerable for police in uniform to traverse the Gurudwara grounds, as this is not a public thoroughfare,” he said. The focus had remained on the presence of police personnel rather than the circumstances that led to their arrival and the protesters’ removal, according to Kalka.
