The Delhi Police on Monday registered an FIR against Aam Aadmi Party leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and others, for alleged disruption at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib premises and circulation of misleading videos and social media posts thereafter. This comes a day after the Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee filed a complaint against the AAP chief and other leaders for the same.

According to the police, the video has been submitted for examination as part of the probe. The FIR was filed a day after the AAP condemned the alleged entry of Delhi Police personnel into Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in the capital, accusing them of violating the sanctity of the shrine. 

The party demanded resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, immediate release of all protesters detained during Saturday's protest and strict action against police personnel involved in the violation of the gurdwara's 'maryada'.

AAP Draws Parallel With Operation Bluestar

AAP MLA and party's chief spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said, "The actions of Delhi Police have brought back painful memories of Operation Bluestar and the events of 1984, which the Sikh community has never forgotten."

"The BJP has repeatedly criticised the Congress over 1984, but the incident at Bangla Sahib has exposed its hypocrisy. The BJP and the Congress may be political rivals, but their approach towards suppressing Sikhs and their voices appears no different," Singh added.

"Union Home Minister Amit Shah must resign and accept responsibility for the police action," Singh saidHe appealed to the Akal Takht jathedar to take serious notice of the incident and called upon Sikh organisations to raise their voices against the "violation".

AAP MLA Baljinder Kaur said, "October 10 was a black day. Delhi Police detained people indiscriminately, while metro services, buses and traffic were disrupted to prevent protesters from reaching their destination."

"Videos showing uniformed police personnel entering Gurdwara Bangla Sahib with shoes on and their heads uncovered, and forcibly removing people from the gurdwara's 'sarai', are deeply disturbing.

The 'sarai' provides shelter to people arriving from across the world, and such treatment inside a sacred place is unacceptable," Kaur added.
