Punjab Revenue and Public Relations Minister Bikram Singh Majithia today asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal not to "hurt the sentiments of Sikhs and stop playing politics of disassociating the Sikhs from Akal Takht".
He said otherwise Kejriwal will have to face the anger of the community for his "anti-Sikh" activities.
Majithia was addressing a function organised to give a grant of Rs 60 lakh to Sadhpur and Bhoe villages of Majitha constituency here today.
Majithia said earlier late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had "sent tanks to the Golden Temple".
"Now Kejriwal is scripting conspiracies against Akal Takht and Sikhs," he alleged.
"Kejriwal should not to hurt the sentiments of Sikhs and stop playing politics of disassociating the Sikhs from Akal Takht," Majithia said.
He claimed that AAP's former Punjab convenor Sucha Singh Chotepur had exposed Kejriwal's "anti-Sikh" mindset.
The Minister said that Kejriwal destroyed 'Piyao' and did not allow to installation of the statue of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Ji in Delhi and "used the picture of broom with the picture of Sri Darbar Sahib hurting the Sikh sentiments deeply".
