PATIALA, Punjab—Punjab chief minister Parkash Badal today faced protest from the audience when he was addressing the gathering in Guru Teg Bahadar Hall of Punjabi University Patiala. The protesters started to shout slogans against Badal for his alleged negative workings again the Panth.
While shouting against Badal, the audience supported Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa and demanded release of Sikh political prisoners. They also sought right to self-determination for Punjabis raising slogans of “Khalistan-Zindabad”. Slogans were also raised in support of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
The Police personnel deployed there immediately arrested the protesters, however they continued to shout slogans.
Prior to this, ruling SAD (B) leaders have faced protests in Canada, US and other countries.
There is a lot more to SIkhs than Badal.
@sarjit kaur
IF a hindu can wear a sikh dastaar, why can’t badal wear a symbol of Hindu-Sikh brotherhood?
My cousin is Hindu and when I goto Mandir with him, and get the tilak sometimes. Does that make me less sikh? I don’t think so.
Just remember this from our Ardaas
“SIKHAN DA MAN NEEVAN, TE MAT UCHCHI”
Actually, it does make you less of a Sikh. You say your cousin is a Hindu; are you sure you’re also not a Hindu?
As a Sikh, you shouldn’t be going to a Mandir in the first place. Sikh Gurus rejected Hindu/Brahmin practices like wearing Janau, tilak, sati, caste, etc.
Do you really think Badal’s “Man is neevan” and his “Mat Uchchi”? Lol.
Correction to typo error> badal puts non Sikh symbol on forehead
Shameful that basal wears Guru Gobind Singh dastaar but puts non sikh on forehead, and is doormat of sarkar
