Minister Baljit Kaur’s Strong Message to Gurpatwant Pannun:
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, April 6-
AAP Cabinet Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur has strongly condemned the disgraceful statement made by Khalistani supporter Gurpatwant Pannun about Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. She said that the communal harmony of Punjab is very strong, and those who attempt to divide people here will never succeed.
Addressing a press conference at the party office in Chandigarh on Sunday, Dr. Baljit Kaur said that Gurpatwant Pannun has made a highly disgusting statement under the guise of Sikhism. His remarks clearly show that he has no knowledge about Sikhism or Dr. Ambedkar.
She said, “Our Gurus considered all people equal, and in Sikh prayers, it is always asked for the welfare of all. Guru Gobind Singh Ji referred to Dalit brothers as ‘Rangrete Guru Ke Bete’. The five beloved ones (Panj Pyare) of Sikhism are also a shining example of this. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji is called ‘Hind Di Chadar’ because he raised his voice and sacrificed his life for the people of the Hindu religion.”
