#Akali #SGPC were cowering in their juttis when separatists took control of revered Gurudwaras in Punjab. At that time #RSS stood up firmly against separatists. Its Shakhas were attacked, scores of swayamsevaks died. Rashtriya Suraksha Samiti came on roads to fight separatism 1/n

Not once did #Akali_SGPC criticised #Congress for letting NankanaSahib go to Pakistan, just 5 km away from new border carved out by British. 2/n

#Nehru wanted to ban #Akalis and #RSS for fighting Islamist killers and rapists during Partition. This was roundly condemned by newspapers like Tribune and Congress kept quiet. But today SGPC condemns RSS! 3/n

#Akalis_SGPC combine enjoyed power with #BJP for 30 years, but never found its association with #RSS problematic. Today they are going back to 1980s. 4/n

#Akalis with SGPC passed #AnandpurSahib resolution in 1970s that talks of supremacy of religion over Constitution in state (Punjab), that keeps quiet on Khalistani demand for Khalistan inside India, not Pakistan with more territory under #MaharajaRanjitSingh. 5/n

#RSS has never talked of theocratic state as it is alien to Hindu philosophy. Neither ancient kings, nor Shivaji discriminated anyone on the basis of religion. This hue and cry is surrender to extremist elements within Sikh panth. 6/n

#RSS has never talked of absorbing #Sikhs into Hindu mainstream and destroy their unique identity. When separatists tried to stop Hindu-Sikh weddings happening for centuries during 1980s, Sikhs stood up against their dictate. 7/n

#Akalis #SGPC are stirring a poisonous pot that saw their near annihilation by separatists in 1980s. They could ride to power only with support of BJP & RSS in Punjab. Now been isolated in Punjab they are playing poisonous politics again. Let us not fall prey to these cynics 8/8
