While mentioning Narendra Modi, Parkash Singh Badal and Amarinder Singh he said that those enjoying political power may be thinking that they could do away with the demands of the morcha but one day they will have to bow before the struggle and arrest the culprits of Beadbi cases and Behbal Kalan police firing and release the concerned Sikh political prisoners.

He said that Badals were making a false cry that there was threat to communal or Hindu-Sikh harmony in the Punjab. ‘There is no threat to any Muslim, Christian, Hindu or even a Sikh in Punjab” he said while adding that actually those making false cry of threat to “aman-shanti” (law and order) or “sadbhawna” (communal harmony) are under threat politically.

He said that situation is turning towards such a stage where parties established from past seventy years will fall and no body could stop Sikhs from gaining control over the SGPC and form the government, provided that the Sikh sections overcome their internal conflicts.
