Shiromani Akali Dal has demanded the registration of an FIR and immediate arrest of a Punjab Police cop who not only thrashed and seriously wounded one Journalist and his cameraman during the Punjab Police attack on Gurdwara Akal Bunga at Sultanpur Lodhi but also snatched the mobile phone of cameraman with a motive to destroy evidence of all the wrongdoings of Police force.

In a statement released here today, former minister and senior SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said that it was shocking that Punjab Police which got orders from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to attack Gurdwara Sahib in the wee hours, not only thrashed and seriously injured both Journalist and his cameraman as a result of which one got his hand fingers badly injured and another sustained ear problem, but also snatched mobile phone of cameraman with motive to destroy evidence of all the wrongdoings of Police force.

He said that it is furthermore shocking to note that despite repeated orders of SSP Kapurthala one ASI has flatly refused to hand over the phone back to the cameraman which clearly shows he is “blessed from the top.”

He further said that police action against Journalists was an attack on the fourth pillar of democracy and its freedom.

Majithia said that history will never forgive Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for his dastardly act of ordering an attack on pious Gurdwara Sahib in a wee hour when sangat was reciting Gurbani and Sri Akhand Path Sahib was also going on.

He said Sikh Sangat throughout the world will always remember this sacrilegious act done by Bhagwant Mann which resembles Operation Blue Star.
