AMRITSAR: In a press statement released by the Shiromani Akali Dal (Mann) secretary Amritpal Singh Nakai told W.S.N. that “The timely inaction of the Central Government to stop the construction work on the disputed site near Masjid has already started communal violence in Kerala and Maharashtra which can lead to a civil warlike situation in the country if the Army is not deployed on the site. The communal thought process of the ruling party in the Center against the Sikhs and Muslims is very apparent as the Hindu fundamentalist Dominated Congress Government did not consult any National Party or call a N.LC. meeting before launching Operation Blue Star with artillery and Tanks on the Golden Temple In the Ayodhya Crisis in trying to safeguard the Hindu interest all options are being tried while with the passing of every day the Babri Masjid moves towards greater danger of being destroyed We warn the Central Government that the Shiromani Akali Dal will stand by the Muslims in this hour of crisis and make any sacrifices to safeguard their religious and historical monument and also that the center should be aware of the repercussions on the Hindu community working in Islamic countries from Indonesia in the East to Marroco in the west.”
