The desecration incidents. Giving pardon to Dera Sacha sauda etc
The dicisions were seen as dictated by the Akalis, eyeing votes of Ram Rahin's followers
(A.)Until now, the Badal government had addressed the recent unrest as a law and order issue. People in the know insist that the present unrest is essentially a result of a power struggle over Sikh votes -- the elections to the state legislative assembly are due in 2017.

(C) "I was a confidante of Badals, but later fell out of favour after I refused to do certain jobs. The rift started when I refused to fix some persons, who had damaged a bus of Orbit transport company in Malwa, in NDPS Act cases as asked for by Badals. Then they realized that I will not do everything as desired by them," Former DGP Shashi Kant alleged.
(D). Narrating sequence of events, Shashi Kant said being  ADGP intelligence at that time, he knew how a dress was sent (the Akal Takht - the top temporal seat of Sikhs - gave pardon to Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, accused of blasphemy for allegedly dressing up like Guru Gobind Singh some years ago), how pictures were prepared and a conspiracy was hatched: Courtesy by YesPunjab.com
1.      The current happenings like the desecration incidents , gave pardon to Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh etc,  the decisions were seen as dictated by the Akalis, eyeing votes of Ram Rahim's  followers  to give full vent to the anger of People of Punjab, grappling with other major government failures like inability to curb drug peddling, rising unemployment and the monopoly of the coterie of  Badal family over all businesses in the state of Punjab.
2.      Before the desecration incidents, the Akal Takht - the top temporal seat of Sikhs - gave pardon to Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, accused of blasphemy for allegedly dressing up like Guru Gobind Singh some years ago. As Sikhs reacted angrily to the pardon, the decision was seen as dictated by the Akalis, eyeing votes of Ram Rahim's followers.
3.      The Takht chiefs continued to defend the pardon, and it was only when Sikh anger showed no signs of abating that the Sikh high priests in an unprecedented move revoked the pardon. However, by then the damage to both the Badals and SGPC had been done. Since October, a day after two protesters died in police firing, several SGPC members have quit. The clamour for the resignations of Sikh high priests got louder
4.      But as with most peace seeking civilizations, peace is short lived, as power and wealth thirsty leaders and groups enforce their will and grip upon common folk.
5.      we can immediately draw the parallel of the ruthless Badal led regime, with it’s iron-fist grip on the simple people of Punjab, ultimately answering to their own master(s), the central government (empire).
6.      Sikh Warrior Since independence from the British, an unhealthy fear of Sikhs has been prevalent amongst the prevailing governments. A fear, stemming from knowledge that Sikhs have stood up and fought with the pen and the sword, for the rights of minorities, and have a strong intolerance for unfair rulers. This fear has led to implementations of numerous straining and constricting laws against the Sikhs.
7.      The many laws were deliberately designed to keep Sikhs repressed economically and physically. The requests, protests, and revolts of the 60s were silently and lethally stamped out. An uneasy two decades of oppressive heavy handed clamp-downs from the central government in Punjab, finally burst at the seams, with violence pouring out onto the streets and the ‘death star’ of all maneuvers, an attack on Harmandar Sahib (Golden temple) – the spiritual center for Sikhs.
8.      “The Punjab government found itself in its worst-ever crisis in 2015, grappling with holy book desecration incidents, issues related to Akal Takht and SGPC, an agrarian crisis and a pesticides scam.
9.      The BJP, an ally of SAD, had been a beneficiary of Dera Sacha Sauda support during the Haryana Assembly polls in 2014 and the impact of the pardon is not lost on the party. The BJP tried to expand its base in the state with the Akalis feeling the heat in their rural areas.
10.  To add to the embarrassment of the SGPC, the Panj Pyaras (the five beloved of Gurus) even summoned the Sikh high priests to clarify the pardon to the Dera head. While they were suspended in return, the Panj Pyaras refused to sit back, directing the SGPC to terminate the services of the chiefs of all the five Takhts. As protests refused to let the Akalis to maintain hold, the Opposition sensed its chance. Senior Congress leaders such as Amarinder Singh, Partap Singh Bajwa as well as AAP's Punjab convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur extended support.
11.   led to statewide protests. Wanton killing of two youths by police was viewed by the community as an attempt to ride roughshod over their right to protest. Police's claim of nabbing the culprits of sacrilege incidents also backfired. They failed to pacify the protesters who felt that the police had framed two innocent baptised Sikhs in order to cover up its failure. Sikhs felt that there was a need to restore the independence of Panthic institutions like SGPC and Akal Takht.
12.   Congress alleged that Badal became a chief minister captive in the hands of political masters in New Delhi, who often pat him on the back by decorating him with a Padma Vibhushan or out of the way comparing him with a selfless leader like Nelson Mandela.After dithering for long, Congress central leadership gave in to pressure from former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on the vexed issue of leadership change in the state. State Congress chief Bajwa and legislature party chief Sunil Jakhar resigned from their posts at the direction of the high command to enable an elaborate reshuffle a year ahead of the Assembly polls. Amarinder, also a former PCC chief, had been spearheading a rebellion against Bajwa, who was appointed by party Vice President Rahul Gandhi. However, Amarinder was given the reins of the party by the high command.
