After Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan donated a sum of Rs 2 crores to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) for the Covid facility created at Rakab Ganj Sahib Gurdwara, two separate Sikh outfits have objected to the acceptance of the donation by the DSGMC over Bachchan’s alleged involvement within the 1984 Sikh riots.Expressing their disdain in the direction of the DSGMC accepting a donation from Amitabh Bachchan, the Shiromani Akali Dal, Delhi, headed by Paramjit Singh Sarna, and the Jag Aasra Guru Ott social gathering led by Manjit Singh GK in separate statements claimed that accepting cash from Bachchan was mistaken as they accused him of being concerned within the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.Paramjit Singh Sarna mentioned, “Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh should sack the DSGMC chief MS Sirsa.” Whereas, Manjit Singh claimed, “If my party is voted to power in the DSGMC polls, I would repay the Rs 2 crore taken from Bachchan.”Bibi Nirpreet Kaur, a sufferer of the 1984 riots, approached the Akal Takht Jathedar in opposition to the donation as she demanded the summoning of DSGMC chief Manjinder Singh Sirsa to the Takht for praising somebody allegedly concerned in inciting the riots.Sirsa, who had hailed Amitabh Bachchan for donating Rs 2 crore to the Covid care centre at Bhai Lakhi Shah Wanjara Hall of Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib, was additionally condemned by the SGPC.“Anyone contributing anonymously like an ordinary devotee to ‘golak’ is acceptable, but the way his (Bachchan) donation was being hailed on social media platforms was not a wise move,” mentioned SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur.When requested about whether or not Sirsa must be held accountable for the ‘lapse’ or the cash be returned, Kaur mentioned, “I have no idea about whether the money was donated through cheque or cash to the DSGMC.”Read More: Pro-Khalistani terror outfit Sikhs For Justice needs Covid sufferers in Punjab to hitch its outfit in trade for Oxygen and cashFurther becoming a member of the bandwagon was the All India Sikh Students Federation. “Sirsa was well versed with the role of Bachchan in the anti-Sikh riots. How could he commit such a blunder by accepting money from him? Did Sirsa ever mention thousands of other donors the way he praised a man who had instigated mob against Sikhs?” claimed Patron Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad.After the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Bachchan allegedly mentioned, “Khoon ka Badla Khoon se lenge.” The foremost witness within the case, Jagdish Kaur, up to now questioned why the actor had not been booked for fuelling anti-Sikh sentiments throughout interviews and TV appearances.“I watched live relay on Doordarshan and saw Amitabh Bachchan raising his arm and shouting the slogan, ‘khun ka badla khun sae lenge’ (Blood for blood) two times,” mentioned Kaur.
