The radical organisations, including Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) led by Daljit Singh Bittu and hardcore Sikh organisation Damdami Taksal on Monday reacted sharply to the criticism of installation of portrait of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale inside Sikh museum in the Golden Temple complex at Amritsar.
These organisations have warned of dire consequences if the Congress and other outfits, mainly Shiv Sena, didn't stop interfering in the Sikh affairs.
The SGPC had installed a portrait of Sant Bhindranwale in the Sikh museum on November 29 after 23 years of his death during operation Bluestar in 1984.
PPCC president Rajinder Kaur Bhattal on the other hand met Punjab Governor Gen (Retd) JF Rodrigues and demanded to remove the portrait of Sikh militant leader from the museum. She also criticised Akali leadership for being a silent spectator to these happenings.
Daljit Singh Bittu while addressing a press conference here said that the Sikh community would not tolerate attempts to malign their martyrs.<b> "If the anti-Sikh offensive continued, severe punishment would be given by Sikhs", </b>Bittu said in a hard-hitting statement.
Bittu said the Congress and other parties have no business to meddle in Sikh affairs. This is for the Sikhs to decide who are their martyrs. He said the Congress and other organisations were pushing Punjab into circumstances that led to militancy in early 80s.
He said the Sikh reaction would be spontaneous if anybody tried to malign Bhindranwale.Â
