Radical Sikh outfit Dal Khalsa today slammed Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his predecessor Amarinder Singh, alleging they were washing dirty linen in public on the operation Bluestar episode.
It said "by engaging in a diatribe against each other, both the leaders were exonerating and diminishing" the acts of the then Union government pertaining to June (Bluestar) and November (anti-Sikh riots) 1984 episodes.
Party head H S Dhami and spokesman Kanwar Pal Singh said both were trying to show the other in bad light to deceive the electorate.
"Both played bad, opportunistic and compromised politics changing stripes and political colours every now and then," they said.
The two radical leaders alleged former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi never wanted to resolve contentious issues with the Sikhs nor she offered any honourable solution to the Punjab problem.
"Badal's close links with corridors of power in South and North block have always been talk of the town among Sikh masses.
"That is the reason he has always been considered as best bet in Punjab by New Delhi," the two Sikh hardliners said.
