Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, Gopal Rai on Wednesday strongly condemned BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari for the alleged humiliation of a Sikh IPS officer in West Bengal by labelling him a Khalistani.
He emphasised that no one should be insulted because of their caste, religion, area, or language.
Rai also criticized the BJP leaders for their apparent disregard for constitutional boundaries and demanded a public apology for their actions.
“The way BJP leaders humiliated an IPS officer on duty in West Bengal by calling him Khalistani is not acceptable. In the entire country, whoever believes in the unity of the country also believes that to strengthen this country, no one should be humiliated on caste, religion, region or linguistic ground…The way the BJP leader publicly humiliated him (IPS officer) shows how hate is rooted in them…They (BJP leaders) are issuing certificates to everyone and have crossed all the boundaries of the constitution… AAP condemns this act in strong words and we ask the BJP to issue a public apology,” Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Gopal Rai said.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also condemned Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari for allegedly calling a Sikh IPS officer ‘Khalistani ‘ and demanded the BJP party apologize to the Punjabis.
“It is highly condemnable for a BJP leader to call a Sikh IPS officer from Bengal a traitor. Perhaps the BJP does not know that the Punjabis have made the most sacrifices to liberate the country and to maintain its freedom till date. The BJP should apologize to the Punjabis,”
