NEW DELHI: The organization responsible for an attack on Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee member in the US has links with Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal alleged on Sunday.

The Union minister said that the heads of an organization called "Sikhs for Justice" are behind the attack on Manjit Singh GK. Badal's allegations came following an attack on Manjit Singh GK outside a gurdwara in California, US on Sunday.

These members, the minister said, are the direct beneficiaries of the Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI, and work on their orders.

The Akali Dal leader also linked today's attack with Congress president Rahul Gandhi 's statement where he had distanced his party from having any role in the anti-Sikh riots which took place in the national capital in 1984.

"Rahul Gandhi said in the UK that Congress had no role in 1984 anti-Sikh riots and within a few hours our president Manjeet Singh GK was attacked. You will find a connection between the attackers and Rahul Gandhi," she alleged.

Yesterday, Rahul, while addressing UK-based parliamentarians and local leaders in London, had refuted allegations that his party had any role in the riots which were triggered following the assassination of the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, by her Sikh bodyguards.

"I have no confusion in my mind about that. It was a tragedy, it was a painful experience. You say that the Congress party was involved in that, I don't agree with that. Certainly there was violence, certainly, there was a tragedy," he had said.

Reacting to the attack on Manjeet, the SAD leader further alleged that the men behind the attack enjoy the support of people who are in direct touch with the likes of Jagdish Tytler, Jasbeer Singh Lobana and his son.

"Jasbeer Singh Lobana is the same gentleman who spent three months in jail for trying to intimidate an eye-witness in 1984 massacre case against Jagdish Tytler. The nexus between Congress party, 'Sikhs for Justice' and ISI is very clear. We demand adequate security for Manjeet GK," Badal said.

President of SAD, Sukhbir Singh Badal too alleged that the intelligence agency from across the border was responsible for the attack and urged the foreign affairs minister Sushma Swaraj to take the matter with her counterparts in the US.

"This attack has been done on behest of ISI who are anti-India, against the stability of Punjab and want to create a wedge between Sikhs," he said.
