He reminded that Congress\u2019 history with Punjab and Sikhs has always been painful, from the SYL betrayal, to the injustices leading up to 1982, Operation Blue Star in 1984, and the Sikh genocide in Delhi, the party\u2019s record is filled with wounds that the Sikh community continues to carry.<\/p>\n<p>Pannu recalled that just days ago, Punjab Congress President Raja Warring mocked a Sikh boys with Joora during the Tarn Taran by-poll campaign. Instead of apologising sincerely, Congress leadership remained silent. \u201cToday, Harak Singh Rawat has repeated the same hatred by making a shameful \u201812 baj gaye\u2019 remark about Sikhs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining the historical significance, Pannu stated that the phrase \u201c12 o\u2019clock\u201d symbolises the bravery of Sikhs who launched night raids against drunken Mughal forces to rescue kidnapped daughters of the nation. \u201cCongress leaders are ignorant of history and trivialise Sikh sacrifices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>AAP demanded that Rahul Gandhi immediately expel Harak Singh Rawat and apologise to the Sikh community. Pannu also asked Punjab Congress leaders Raja Warring, Pratap Singh Bajwa, and all their half a dozen CM aspirants to clarify their stand.<\/p>\n<p>He said Punjab has always rejected hate politics. \u201cPunjab\u2019s soil grows every crop, but hatred does not grow here,\u201d Pannu concluded, warning Congress to stop sowing seeds of division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab General Secretary and Media In-charge Baltej Pannu strongly condemned the latest derogatory remark made by Congress\u2019 Uttarakhand leader Harak Singh Rawat, calling it yet another reflection of the Congress party\u2019s deep-rooted anti-Sikh mindset.
