Fresh Twist In Dera Chief Case

[Azaad]

In a fresh twist in the case against Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the complainant, who the police claimed had submitted an affidavit seeking cancellation of the FIR, today said in a Bathinda court that he had never filed such an affidavit.

On January 27, three days before the Assembly elections, the police had filed an application in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Harjit Singh stating that the 2007 case against the dera chief be cancelled. The dera chief was booked for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of Sikhs.

The application submitted by the police has an “affidavit” of complainant Rajinder Singh Sidhu that states he had not seen the dera head dressed as Sri Guru Gobind Singh at his Salabatpura Dera and that he did not listen to the religious discourse given.

On the basis of this affidavit, the Kotwali police had moved an application seeking cancellation of the FIR. CJM Harjit Singh summoned Sidhu who told the court that he did not want the FIR to be cancelled. He also claimed that he did not give any such affidavit to the Bathinda police. His advocate Jatinder Roy Khattra claimed the affidavit police presented in court had not been attested. Sidhu added that after registering the FIR, police had forced him to sign a few blank papers.

The complainant Sidhu told the court today and that legal action should be taken against the dera chief. He also insisted that police should soon present challan in the case.

The next hearing has been fixed for February 11. Interestingly, the Bathinda police has not filed a challan in the court even after three years of registration of the FIR.

“The cancellation of the case was used as a bait to woo dera and ensure that dera votes are cast in SAD’s favour. However, on January 28, the dera secretly decided to support different candidates and did not come out openly on this subject. After the elections concluded and the Congress thanked dera for its support, the equations changed,” said sources.

The Flip-flop

• Three days before the Assembly elections, on January 27, the Bathinda police had filed an application in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Harjit Singh stating that the FIR against Gurmeet Ram Rahim be cancelled.
  
• An affidavit said to have been signed by complainant Rajinder Singh Sidhu accompanied the application.
  
• The complainant said on Saturday that he did not give the Bathinda police any such affidavit.
  

Case has died its own death: Dera

Dera Sacha Sauda spokesperson Ram Singh said the case has already died its own death. "Police was supposed to present challan in court within three years of registration of case. Four-years-and-a-half have passed, but there is no trace of challan," he said. He however refused to comment on the complainant Rajinder Singh Sidhu turning hostile, saying he has not yet seen the facts.

you know i dont even blame dehra's its is the fault of the SGPC who are supposed to be the vanguards of Sikhism yet are working for someone freemasonic agenda (in my opinion).Look across the border in pakistan and Islamic madrasses are brancing out to other countries to brainwash people into their ideology. In Punjab you have laloo's who sit in their luxaries and comfortable homes not working for the long term furture of the Sikh community.

People only go to dehra's when there is lack of pachaar and ignorance is wide spread. Is SGPC channelling funds into countering cults/fake baba's/dehra's? No what are they doing then exactly? Is SGPC helping afghan and pakistani Sikhs and helping fund the increase in their numbers? No i dont think they are these Sikhs have been abandoned.

Look at Sikh history and its only through sacrifice and spread of ideology of Sikhism was Sikhs finally able to establish rule and bring forth good and just governance against the corruption and tyranny. There has been a vaccum and that void has been left by the SGPC's failure to increase the numbers of Sikhs and who have done jack all in ensuring Punjab remains the strategic fort for the ideology of Sikhism. Something needs to change big time, SGPC and all the leaders who are involved in that sort of an organisation need to be removed from holding office ever again.

i fear sikhs will face the same problems the jews did for centuries...homeless and not forming a single majority in any region in the world...this leaves us vulnerable and weak...

Waheguru will only help us when we decide as individuals to help ourselves live, breathe and spread Sikhi to non-sikhs and ensure there is passion there that we hold account our so called elected leaders they are doing the same but at a greater level.
