12 Aam Admi Party on Bhindranwale birthday

The Aam Aadmi Party core committee member Sanjay Singh spoke out against a poster that had been circulating on social media promoting the Sant Bhindranwale birthday program at Fatehgarh Sahib on February 12. Captain Amarinder Singh had earlier made a comment against the poster stating that AAP were following suit of Simranjit Singh Mann and using the militancy card in Punjab, to which Sanjay Singh responded that the poster was not published by AAP and they did not promote such programs. Another status message is also going viral in which AAP made some derogatory comments against Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale terming them as a terrorist.

Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale, who has been awarded as the greatest Sikh of the 20th Century was a revolutionary icon in modern Sikh history and his birth celebrations are celebrated in February each year, much to the dismay of the radical Hindu outfit Shiv Sena. This year is no different and as the preparations took place, the subject of Sant Jarnail Singh became a talking point in Punjab politics again, as the Aam Aadmi Party responded to allegations that they had promoted the program, stating that they have nothing to do with it or the ideology of Sant Jarnail Singh. On the other hand the Shiv Sena made similar statements and called for the celebrations to be cancelled.
