:dateline:Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar today strongly condemned Italian Police�s move of seizing Kirpan (sword) of Bhai Bachitter Singh Kaishar in Italy.
Bhai Bachittar Singh ‘Shonki’, a renowned Sikh preacher, had gone to the�Kastoriaa police station for some personal matter, however, while going through the security check, the police seized his kirpan and registered a case against him.
Makkar said it was unfair to harass the Sikh preacher in a Police station of Italy. �The Italian Police has not only seized his Kirpan, but also registered a case against him, which is quite unfortunate as Kirpan is necessary part of Panj Kakars Guru Gobind Singh blessed to Amritdhari Sikh. The illegitimate action has angered Sikhs across the world�, he added.
He appealed Sikh organizations of Italy to take up the issue with the respective government and make it aware of the Sikh ethos, so that no Sikh faces such kind of behavior in future. The SGPC chief also urged Indian minister of home affairs Sushma Swaraj to take up the issue with Italian embassy and ask it to withdraw the case.
Hypocrite he is and not ashamed of it.
Makkar showing breathtaking chutzpah once again. ‘Makkar said it was unfair to harass the Sikh preacher in a Police station of Italy’. He would prefer it was done in a police station in Punjab where the harassment can be done properly. “The illegitimate action has angered Sikhs across the world�, he added, completely oblivious to the pardoning of Ram Rahim and the denigration of the Panj Pyare. ‘He appealed Sikh organizations of Italy to take up the issue with the respective government and make it aware of the Sikh ethos’. I suggest SIkh organisations in Italy make Makkar and his SGPC aware of Sikh ethos. Hypocrite.
