Anti-Badal Lobby Questions Role of Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar

NEW DELHI—Issue of Nanakshahi Calendar has raised the question over the working of Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib as well. Leaders of Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) said that to get rational decision from Sri Akal Takht Sahib, it is necessary that any family member of Jathedar shouldn’t be involved in politics in any form.

General Secretary of Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi), Paramjit Sarna, blamed the appointed Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib that his son is Chairman of the Market Committee of Barhuali Mandi, due to which the Jathedar is getting pressurized from the Akali Government. Sarna also blamed that the termination of Nanakshahi Calendar was also done to give political benefit to Akali Party.

Sarna has been a long rival of Akali Dal (B).  He has close ties with the Congress and the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat.

Said stated that the new Bikrami Calendar has expelled names of bhagats. He said that Pal Singh Purewal did hard work for many years to sort out Nanakshahi Calendar and a committee of SGPC implemented it after discussion for two years.

“Sikh Intellectuals sent this calendar in General House of Committee, where it was passed with high voting,” he added. He said that the decision of General House couldn’t be challenged by any individual or a Jathedar, but the SGPC authorities removed it mercilessly.
