JAMMU, Apr 13: Heads of various Sikh organizations today appealed the community to vote for BJP in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing media-persons, along with representatives of different Sikh organizations, Chairman of National Sikh Front, S Varinder Jeet Singh, said that the BJP has always worked for the benefit of Sikh community. “BJP Government started Humsafar Express, full AC train, from Jammu to Hazoor Sahib and vice versa. Efforts of Dr Jitendra Singh, Union MoS in PMO and now party candidate for Udhampur Lok Sabha seat were very important in starting this train on time,” he said and added that the Modi Government also included the story of Chaar Sahibzade of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in CBSE history books.
He further reminded that in 2017-18 budget, Rs 100 crore were provided on the eve of 350th birth celebration of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. “Recently Central Government made Fateh Memorial Park at Subash Nagar, Delhi Metro Station. Late Madan Lal Khurana gave second language status to Punjabi when he was CM of Delhi. He also gave Rs 5 lakh as compensation to Sikh families who suffered in 1984 riots,” Mr Singh said.
Further, he added, Vajpayee Government gave Rs 300 crores for establishing Virasat-e-Khalsa while Refugee Sikh families of 1947 have been given Rs 5.50 lakh each by the BJP Government.
On the other hand, Varinder Jeet Singh said, Congress committed genocide of Sikh community in 1984 and made every effort to save the culprits. “Even Congress gave them promotions and made them MLAs, MPs even Ministers,” he alleged and added that Sajjan Kumar was is in jail because of Modi Government.
Lambasting those Sikhs, who are affiliated with National Conference and supporting Congress candidate, the BJP leader said that a true Sikh would never vote for Congress.
