Demanding immediate expulsion of Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who is also advisor to deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal, from Delhi Gurudwara Management Committee for indulging in fraud, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday accused Akali Dal of shielding the guilty.

AAP's spokesman and head of the youth wing of the party, Harjot Bains said that since Sirsa family has already proved 'tainted' in the court, that convicted Jasbir Singh Sirsa, father of Manjinder Singh Sirsa, for two years' imprisonment and penalty, he (Sirsa) has no moral right to continue as General Secretary of religious governing body of Delhi Gurudwara Management Committee.

"It is highly deplorable that instead of submitting his resignation on moral ground, Sirsa was more busy in media management, to stop publication of the news regarding conviction of his father in the fraud case," Harjot Bains said.

WHAT HAPPENED

Elaborating further on the fraud committed by the Sirsa family, Bains said that it is highly condemnable that family has committed fraud with an NRI Makhan Singh to grab his prime property in Punjabi Bagh locality of Delhi on the basis of forged power of attorney and ultimately justice prevailed and Court has sentenced Jasbir Singh Sirsa for imprisonment for two years with imposition of penalty.

Terming Sirsa as the boss of the land mafia in Delhi, Bains demanded High Court to conduct time-bound investigation of all properties owned by the Sirsa family, because the house in which the Sirsa family is living currently is also under controversy.

AAP demanded that Sukhbir Badal, who is political master, should clarify his stand on the fraud committed by the Sirsa family and take immediate action against Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who has recently been appointed as advisor to deputy chief minister.
