Chandigarh, February 4, 2014: The Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said here today that the entire nation had been shocked by the disclosure by the British government that late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi not only sought military advice from "perpetrators of Jallianwala Bagh" on the tragic army assault on the holiest of Holy Sikh shrines, the Golden Temple but went to the extreme of ignoring even the British advisor's warning against using the military option without exhausting the path political and peace solution."
"I find it hard to believe that the Prime Minister of a sovereign nation would so humiliate her own people and country as to turn for military advice against its own citizens. This is the gravest sin against the Sikhs, the Punjabis and the people of India," said Badal in a statement here this evening.
Badal said that the incredible disclosure by the British Government had also proved that the later Prime Minister and all the past and present leaders of the Congress party had been "lying through their teeth" by claiming that the that the then Congress government never wanted to attack the Golden Temple and that the decision on an army assault was " sudden one", forced by emergent developments at that time. The disclosure proves how then rulers carried out a deep-rooted conspiracy over a long period, always planning to attack the holiest shrine of the Sikhs at the same time indulging in the hypocrisy of trying to solve ithe problem through political negotiations."
"It is shocking beyond belief that Gandhi went to such absurd and inhuman extremes as to involve former colonial masters in dealing with what was essentially a deeply emotional, religious and political issue involving the most patriotic community."
Badal said that the Congress led UPA government should quit immediately on moral ground. In addition, they owe an immediate and unconditional apology to the brave and patriotic Sikh community, the people of Punjab and the entire country for such unbelievable and unpardonable."
Meanwhile, the SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal lashed out at the Congress party which "had carried its hatred of Punjabis in general and the Sikhs in particular to such unimaginable heights.
"That Gandhi actually met and discussed the military operation with the military advisor of the British government well ahead of the army assault just goes to show how deep the conspiracy to humiliate Punjabis and Sikhs."
The Deputy CM also said that the disclosure proved how the Congress government trifle with national interests and humiliate India's sovereignty. This is the most shocking disclosure of how unsafe national security and sovereignty is in the hands of the Congress leaders."
The Deputy CM also asked the Congress-led UPA government at the center to explain what moral right it had to stay in power for even a day longer after the sensational disclosure that Indira Gandhi had actually compromised all national interests, sought a foreign powers intervention in an internal affair of the country and sought advice from an SAS advisor against her own country's citizens "
Sukhbir Singh also said that the explosive disclosures by the British Government had also proved that the then Prime Minister and the subsequent leaders of that party had been indulging in broad day light lies on the issue .// punjab news live, punjab news online, punjab news, punjab news headlines, punjab breaking news, india news, punjab news, world news,
