EXCLUSIVE: Jathedar Says Representation of All Panthik Bodies in Calendar Panel Not Possible

Giani Gurbachan SinghAMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—Reacting on the objections raised by various Panthik organizations across the world on the panel constituted by Panj Singh Sahiban, Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar has stated that it was not possible to include representatives of such a large number Panthik organizations. However, he assured that objections raised by these organizations would be considered in next meeting.

He said that various organizations have been directed to send their representatives within seven days. “Afterwards, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee will be given the responsibility to conduct the meetings of the panel”, he told further.

It is notable that Akal Takht Jathedar has announced to include majority of those members who oppose original Nanakshahi Calendar prepared by Canada based Sikh scholar Pal Singh Purewal. So, Panthik organizations who believe that original Nanakshahi Calendar is required to be implemented for maintaining separate identity of Sikh religion are raising objections against the proposed panel.
