BREAKING: Giani Gurbachan Singh summons 44 Sikh leaders for seeking votes from Sirsa cult

AMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—The SGPC appointed Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh today summoned 44 Sikh leaders of mainstream political parties for seeking votes from Sirsa cult chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim. All 44 Sikh leaders have been asked to appear at the Supreme Sikh throne Sri Akal Takht Sahib on April 17.

A committee constituted by the SGPC on orders of Giani Gurbachan Singh mentioned names of 44 politicians, out of which 29 had visited the Sacha Sauda, and rest held meetings with senior leaders.  Prominent names includes Sikander Singh Maluka, Janmeja Singh Sekhon, Jeet Mohinder Sidhu, Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Surjit Rakhra from Akali Dal.  From Congress, Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, Karan Kaur Brar and Ajit Inder Singh Mofar were included and Narinder Singh Sandha of the Aam Aadmi Party.

The decision to summon these leaders were announced by Gaini Gurbachan Singh after a long meeting with representatives of other Takhts appointed by the SGPC. Giani Gurbachan Singh stated that action will be taken against these leaders as per the Rehat Maryada.

In 2007, sharp clases were seen between Sikh activists and Sirsa cult disciples after Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the dera chief, mimicked the amrit sanchar ceremoney of the Sikhs.  The Akal Takht authorities had directed the Sikh masses to socially boycott Gurmeet Ram Rahim and his disciples in May 2007.  The Shiromani Akali Dal led Punjab government had also imposed ban on the congregations of Sirsa cult disciples in Punjab. 

The Sirsa cult’s announcement to support Shiromani Akali Dal in recently concluded assembly polls had put the Shiromani Akali Dal under fire. The SGPC had to constitute a three member committee to pacify the Sikh masses which had found 44 Sikh leaders of SAD, AAP and Congress guilty of violating the religious decree issued from Sri Akal Takht Sahib in May-2007.

  1. Akaal Takhat Sahib should be free from any interference by any politician or government & there should be a system to select the Jathedar and there should be strong institution of gursikh scholars to guide & stand with the Jathedar.

  2. Gurbachan Singh is a puppet and the only saja given would be do wash untensils at langar hall or recite gurbani which they don’t believe in anyway….. This is pathetic – we need change of Jathedar like Akaali Baba Phoola Singh Ji who can order to whip the Maharajah of Punjab Ranjit Singh.
