AMRITSAR:Serving chief of Hardcore Sikh organization  Damdami Taksal Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma  warned the PPCC (Punjab Pardesh Congress Committee)  chief Rajinder Kaur Bhattal to stop criticism against the installation of portrait Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrenwala in the Sikh museum of Golden Temple in holy city of Amritsar.

Talking to the media here today Dhuma described his predecessor Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrenwala as martyr of Sikhism as he had laid down his life for the cause of Sikhism.

Dhuma also urged the UPA President Sonia Gandhi to refrain Bhattal against the criticism of installation of portrait of Bhindranwalla in the Sikh museum of Golden Temple.Dhuma said that by criticizing the installation of portrait, Bhattal directly interfering in the internal affair of Sikhs and it would certainly disturb the peaceful situation of Punjab.

Dhuma said that there would be dire consequences if the Congress leadership did not stop to interfere in the internal affairs of Sikhs while criticizing the installation of portrait. He aded that earlier former Prime Minister Indra Gandhi had interfered in the Sikh religion and sent the Indian Army to attack on Golden Temple and thereafter both Sikhs and Congress leadership has suffered huge human loss.

Adding further Dhuma said that Congress leadership should draw lesson from the past and should not repeat the bloody history in the peaceful Punjab.Sikh Museum in the Golden Temple is meant to display the portraits of Sikh worriers and Sant Jarnail Singh Bhidnrwala was the  hero of Sikhs.

It may be mentioned here that during the peak days of Terrorism in Punjab all the terrorist outfit was under the direct command of Damdami Taksal when Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrenwala was the chief of Damdami Taksal during the year of 1983 and 1984.

Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrenwala used to issue command to all his hardcore followers from the headquarter of Golden Temple. But when the law and order was slipped out of control in Punjab and bloodshed was on rise then Indian Government headed by the then Prime Minister Indra Gandhi had sent the Army to flush out the hiding militants from the Golden Temple in June 1984. During the Operation Blue Star hundreds of people died.

After the Operation Blue Star the holy Akal Takht was reduced to ash due the bombardment which had hurt the Sikh sentiments by and large. Thereafter Indra Gandhi was shot dead by her gunmen. But things did not stop here, since anti Sikh riots took place in Delhi which claimed the lives of hundreds of Sikhs.
