Singhu lynching: Nihang held for lynching of Dalit Sikh , BJP slams farmer leaders!

 

 

 

In the run-up to the Assembly polls in Punjab, religion has become a hot potato along with caste. It is very clear that The professional protesters who are masking themselves as farmers are doing great disservice to the nation. Those who take the life of an innocent man, rape women and insult the tricolour and justify the killings of citizens as reaction to the action cannot be termed as farmers. Recently, A group of Nihang Sikhs, Nirvair Khalsa-Udna Dal, admitted to killing Lakhbir Singh and said he was killed for allegedly committing 'sacrilege'. Meanwhile, the umbrella body of over forty farmers' unions, Samyukta Kisan Morcha, distanced itself from the incident. Lakhbir Singh, a 35-year-old Dalit man with no criminal antecedents or political affiliations, was a resident of the Cheema Khurd village in Tarn Taran in Punjab. He worked as a labourer in his village and had reportedly been serving at a Nihang camp near the Delhi-Haryana border for the last few days. Slamming farmer leaders over the incident that took place near their protest site, the BJP said that "anarchists behind these protests need to be exposed as they are doing a great disservice to the nation". Still, there is an attempt by a fringe to paint the Nihangs as the saviours of the holy book. The Nihangs claim the alleged victim desecrated their ‘Sarbloh Granth’. The case reached the Supreme Court with Advocate Shashank Shekhar Jha having filed an application demanding an early hearing on the matter.
