Amritsar (November 25, 2011): In a strong worded statement, the Dal Khalsa has condemned the assault on union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar by a person Harvinder Singh who happens to be a Sikh.

It’s very wrongful and shameful act to humiliate an elderly person, said party’s office secretary Sarbjit Singh Ghuman. It has reminded us of the similar incident when a person (who also happens to be a Sikh) associated with so-called Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena- an offshoot of the RSS assaulted supreme court lawyer Prashant Bhushan in his SC chamber. There is some design behind all these incidents. “Some hidden forces in Delhi are time and again using the Sikh face as a tool for their vested political interests, said the release.

Condemning the mischievous statement of Anna Hazare, he said the action of Harvinder Singh seems to be guided by the rhetoric of anti-graft crusader Anna and his team against politicians.
