The Delhi Assembly’s bold confrontation with Punjab Police’s forensic findings in the Sikh Guru matter has ignited fresh debate. A strongly worded notice has been dispatched, challenging the credibility of the FSL report at the heart of the dispute.
This high-profile case traces back to disputes over artifacts and remains associated with Sikh Gurus. Punjab’s forensic analysis was touted as definitive, but Delhi lawmakers aren’t convinced. They highlighted potential tampering risks and outdated testing techniques during Tuesday’s proceedings.
‘The report raises more questions than answers,’ remarked a senior MLA, citing mismatched timelines and unverified samples. The assembly resolution passed unanimously, underscoring cross-party consensus on the need for transparency.
Punjab Police now faces a deadline to address 15 specific queries, including lab accreditation details and peer reviews. Failure to comply could escalate to judicial intervention, sources indicate.
Community sentiments are divided yet vocal. While some Punjab factions stand by the report, Delhi’s Sikh organizations demand an independent CBI inquiry. Political analysts see this as a flashpoint in Delhi-Punjab relations, especially ahead of elections.
The assembly’s action sets a precedent for legislative oversight in forensic disputes. As replies are awaited, all eyes are on whether this will lead to a breakthrough or prolonged standoff in the Sikh Guru saga.
