Amritsar, October 22 Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Harjinder Singh Dhami, reacting to the announcement of Dera Sirsa head of opening a Dera in Sunam, has demanded from the government to immediately stop his activities.
In a official statement here today, Dhami said that the character of Dera Sirsa head Gurmeet Ram Rahim is anti-social and the charges leveled against him are heinous. Convicted in rape and murder cases, Ram Rahim is also the main accused in sacrilege cases.
He said that the announcement by this controversial person to open a dera in Punjab has hurt the Sikh sentiments and this may spoil the peaceful atmosphere of Punjab. He said that the Punjab government should play its role responsibly on this very serious matter and resolve that no branch of Dera Sirsa is established in Punjab.
The SGPC President said that the Sikh mentality is being hurt by repeatedly granting parole to Ram Rahim, who is imprisoned due to his bad character and crimes and it is a conspiracy to now announce the opening of his Dera in Sunam.
He said that the Sikh community will never tolerate this act of his. The government should not allow the convict of heinous acts to play with the religious sentiments of the people.
Advocate Dhami clarified once again that any activity of Dera Sirsa head Ram Rahim in Punjab will not be accepted. Advocate Dhami demanded from the Centre and state governments to stop Ram Rahim’s online speeches while he is out on parole and facing serious charges.
