:dateline:Dal Khalsa today, May 14, chided Captain Amarinder Singh for referring to the pseudo Baba Hardev Nirankari�a spiritual leader. �Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh told Sikh24, “If that is so, then the faith of Captain Amarinder Singh in Guru Granth Sahib and Sikh philosophy is highly questionable.”

Speaking shortly after the car accident of Hardev Nirankari, Capt Amarinder Singh said, “I am deeply saddened and shocked to learn about the untimely demise of Sant Baba Hardev Singh Ji in a road accident in Canada”, he said in a condolence message, while adding, “It is a great loss not only to his followers, but to the humanity as a whole as he was a great spiritual leader of our time”.

Reacting sharply to the Captain’s condolence statement, Dal Khalsa�spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said he was saddened to read the statement of the Punjab Congress chief.

Kanwar Pal Singh said the statement of Captain was more than the expression of grief. He has gone to the extent of praising a person,�who posed�challenge to the Guruship of holy Guru Granth Sahib. �Lest it be forgotten, it was Captain�s Congress party that encouraged and patronized this heretical cult with an aim to undermine the basic fundamentals of Sikhism,” he said.�

“It appears that in the pursuit of petty politics and his lust to capture the chair of Chief Minister, the former scion of the Patiala household has totally forgotten that he was a Sikh first and that�neo-Nirankaris have been excommunicated from the Sikh Panth,” Kanwar Pal Singh said.� He questioned Amrinder whether he has forgotten what happened in Amritsar on Baisakhi day on April 13, 1978.�

“We feel pity that the majority of�Sikhs of Amritsar have chosen Captain to represent their voice in the Lok Sabha. Sikhs of the holy city preferred him over an RSS functionary [Arun Jaitley]. �The cat is out of bag and that Captain Stands exposed by�his anti-Sikh and unprincipled�utterance,” said Kanwar Pal Singh in a statement to Sikh24.
