Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday asked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and lawyer HS Phoolka not to lie by claiming that he had never recommended his juniors to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to fight the cases of victims of 1984 Sikh genocide.
“Even now, one of the lawyers in the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) defence team representing the victims is Phoolka’s immediate junior,” said DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK.
He said: “At various stages during the last 30 years, Phoolka had recommended his juniors to the SGPC and the same were given payments for representing 1984 genocide victims. We welcome any litigation on this issue and will expose you not only in court but also in the eyes of the entire Sikh community whom you have used to carve out a political career for yourself despite failing to get even one of the main genocide perpetrators convicted in the last 31 years.”
DSGMC president said: “We will also launch proceedings against you for claiming that the Akali Dal has given a clean chit to Jagdish Tytler. Please show any evidence of the same or be ready to face the music.”
Manjit GK said that DSGMC would also approach the Centre, Punjab and Delhi Governments and demand a full probe into the income and property made by Phoolka in last 31 years, especially since he has claimed that he has been working without remuneration.
