CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab was trying to hush up the Bargadi sacrilege case.

“Handing over the report to religious leaders does not certify it of any sanctity or truthfulness and the matter of the fact is that you are trying to hush up the matter for the reasons best known to you”, the PCC president told the Chief Minister, while referring to the SIT report on sacrilege, here today.

“The AAP government has betrayed all the expectations it had raised among people who voted it to power”, Warring said, while warning the government against serious ramifications as the issue related to emotions and sentiments of millions and millions of Sikhs and followers of the Guru Granth Sahib, world over.

The PCC president said the AAP government was following the script of the Akali Dal government, which had also tried to hush up the matter. “The way the Akalis had handed over the case to the CBI, apparently to hush it up, as it failed to find anything and identify the culprits, same way the AAP has scripted a report that seeks to exonerate the real culprits”, he said.

“We are back to square one, as what the Akalis could not do, the APP did by giving clean chit to all those, whom entire Punjab knows are the guilty of sacrilege”, he said, while adding, “the Punjab Congress will go back to people and ensure that justice is done in a case that concerns each and every Punjabi and in which some precious lives were lost”.
