Jarnail hits out at Sukhbir on 'allegation of ultra links'

AAP candidate from Lambi Assembly segment in the upcoming Punjab Assembly polls Jarnail Singh today lashed out at Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal for allegedly linking him with the separatist movement by showing pictures of the Remembrance Day meeting of the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in London.
In a statement, Singh alleged that Sukhbir was insulting the entire Sikh community by branding everyone opposed to him as "terrorists".
The senior AAP leader said in 2011, he had given an eight-minute speech at the Remembrance Day meeting, which is held every year at Trafalgar Square in London, in which he had strongly flayed the role of Congress leaders Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 riots.

Alleging that images of him delivering the speech in London were being shown on a private TV channel "at the behest of Sukhbir", he dared the Akali leader to show his entire speech.
Singh said he had worked for the welfare of the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots who, he alleged, were denied justice by respective Congress and BJP-led governments at the Centre.
He wondered if he had any link with radicals, why had the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) honoured him with 'siropa' for serving the Sikh community and helping the victims of the 1984 riots.
He alleged that the Badal family had always looked after their own interests and made Punjab a "mandi (market) of drugs and sanctuary of criminals and mafias".
