Amritsar, January 16
Leading Sikh lawyer and former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA HS Phoolka has sent a letter to SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami objecting to the latter’s statement over his expulsion from the party.
He stated that the SGPC chief had said that he (Advocate Phoolka) had been expelled by the AAP, whereas he had quit the party on his own.
The main reason for his resignation was the 1984 Sikh genocide cases which were pending in the court at that time. He said after 34 years, the case of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar was heard in the High Court. As a minister, he was barred by the Bar Council from pursuing the case.
So, he gave up his political career, preferred to fight for justice, won the case and Sajjan was sentenced. —
