Warring condemns AAP govt for forcibly cremating Gulzar Singh
Says this is ‘adding insult to injury’; criminally callous, arrogantly insensitive
While minister caused Gulzar’s suicide, CM humiliated family
Chandigarh 10 September ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Thursday condemned the Bhagwant Mann government of forcibly cremating the body of Gulzar Singh, who died by suicide after being insulted by state Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, describing it as “criminally callous” and “arrogantly insensitive”. In a strongly worded statement, Warring said that the state government had humiliated Gulzar Singh’s family by getting his last rites performed against their wishes. “Adding insult to injury. Criminally callous, arrogantly insensitive,” Warring said, targeting both Cheema and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over the incident.
The Punjab Congress chief alleged that Cheema was responsible for the circumstances that led to Gulzar Singh taking his own life. He also accused Chief Minister Mann of being responsible for the forcible cremation of Gulzar Singh’s body, saying the family had been subjected to further humiliation at a time of grief. “First, an AAP minister Harpal Cheema was the cause for Gulzar Singh’s suicide. Now the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is responsible for humiliating the family by forcibly getting Gulzar Singh cremated, against the family’s wishes,” Warring alleged.
He said the incident amounted to “adding insult to a Dalit’s injury” and warned that the incident would have lasting political and social consequences for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party government. “Punjabis in general and the Dalit brotherhood will never forget and never forgive this,” Warring said. Warring asserted that the treatment meted out to Gulzar Singh’s family reflected a serious failure of sensitivity and accountability on the part of the state administration.
