Allegedly No Consensus Taken From Takhat Sri Hazoor Sahib in Haryana Sikh Excommunication

AMRITSAR SAHIB—A video has surfaced online which alleges to show that the Haryana Sikh excommunication edict may have been taken without the consensus of all five Takhts. 

While responding to media queries, Giani Gurbachan Singh stated that the excommunication of the three Haryana Sikh leaders was done after deliberation with the fifth Jathedar, who was not actually present at the meeting.

The Sikh Rehit Maryada requires the consensus of five Takhts, however due to disagreements with the Hazoor Sahib Management Committee, its jathedar is sometimes not invited to meetings. In this situation, a representative takes his place. From the video, it seems like the “Gurmatta” was taken only in the presence of four Jathedars, and a fifth person was not present.

The excommunication edict has defied the procedures set from past centuries. A large number of the Sikh population has denounced the hukamnama, stating that it was taken under political pressure from the Shiromani Akali Dal (B).
