Sometimes, they (people in Congress government) also get angry on my statements. But I have come here to support your dharna as I want speedy justice in these cases.”
On 14 October 2015, Krishna Bhagwan Singh of Behbal Khurd and Gurjit Singh of Sarawan Bodla village were killed when the police opened fire on a group of protesters sitting on a dharna in Behbal Kurd village. Guru Granth Sahib in Bargari.
Sukhraj Singh, son of Krishna Bhagwan Singh, who had started an indefinite dharna earlier this month at the same spot where the Behbal Kalan firing took place, said, “Earlier Capt Amarinder Singh He was the Chief Minister and he did nothing. It has been three months since the appointment of the new CM. However, he has not yet made any statement regarding the firing incident. Everyone knows that former DGP Sumedh Saini was behind this firing. But despite this, the Channi government went ahead and appointed Saini’s lawyer as the Advocate General of Punjab, a post which he was later forced to resign.
Sidhu, however, responded quickly to Sukhraj’s allegations and said, “I raised the issue, I took a stand. I always used to make statements about firing.
When asked about the recent cases of sacrilege in Golden Temple and Kapurthala, Sidhu said, “There are some forces which are trying to disturb the peace of Punjab. Someone is trying to polarize communities in the name of votes. But people are devoted to the Guru and he delivered justice in both the cases immediately. It also shows that they have no faith in the system. Had justice been served in 2015, today would not have come.
Besides Sukhraj, the other person sitting on the dharna in Behbal Kalan is Ajit Singh (23), who was reportedly injured when the police lathi-charged and then on the same day, October 14, a group of protesters near Kotkapura Chowk.

I have met Deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on this issue, but still got jobs on “compassionate grounds”. I am waiting to leave
Sukhraj further said, ‘I once took him to meet Randhawa when Captain Amarinder was the CM. At that time we were told that the government cannot do anything. Now after Channi became CM, I again met Deputy CM Randhawa and he promised him a job of Rs.8,000 per month in Markfed office located in Sangrur, which is about 70 km from his village. However, nothing was done. Randhawa is the deputy CM now, yet he has not given us justice.”
On this, Sidhu targeted the state government for giving jobs to relatives of Congress MLAs and MPs and said, “If anyone is given a job on compassionate grounds, it should be (Ajit).” Instead people who are powerful are getting these jobs.
He said, “We are all part of a system and we are responsible to answer those who voted for us. I am also in the system and I am here to answer in front of you all. I am in front of you as our leader. I have come as Rahul Gandhi Came here in 2015. He always keeps asking me about the progress of the case. He wants that all the culprits should be punished.” To this Sukhraj said, ‘So Rahul ji should tell the CM. Charanjit Singh Channi To take action.”
Another protester, Balraj Singh, a religious preacher, told Sidhu, “You should take responsibility for this and bring justice to the people of Punjab. If you do this then the whole of Punjab will be indebted to you. The Shiromani Akali Dal was defeated in the 2017 elections for its poor handling of the sacrilege issue. Capt Amarinder Singh was also shown the door as he had also taken oath with Gutkha Sahib in his hand but did nothing.
Sukhraj further said, “If justice had been served in the past sacrilege cases, the incidents in Amritsar and Kapurthala would not have happened.”
