SGPC to press for summoning CM to Takht

AMRITSAR: The demand for summoning Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh to Akal Takht for the alleged failure of his government to prevent the clashes in Talhan is likely to gain momentum during the SGPC executive committee meeting scheduled to be held at Kalgidhar Niwas, Chandigarh, on June 12.

SGPC president Kirpal Singh Badungar has already demanded Amarinder’s resignation on the issue. The SGPC general house has passed a resolution, urging the Akal Takht jathedar to summon Amarinder Singh to Akal Takht and hold him responsible for the alleged entry of the police into the Golden Temple complex during the SGPC elections last year.

SGPC executive members, who seem to have made up their mind to take on the Congress, are likely to target Amarinder in their next meeting, which in turn will give a boost to the sagging morale of the SAD. SGPC sources said that deliberations were on in SAD circles to use the authority of the Akal Takht jathedar to summon Amarinder.

Partap Singh Advocate, an SGPC executive member from Jalandhar, told Times News Network over telephone that the Congress government had totally failed to contain the violence. He alleged that the party was promoting forces inimical to peace.

Advocate, who is also one of the seven members of the sub-committee formed by the SGPC to probe into the incident, said that the probe report would be tabled at the SGPC executive committee meeting.

Sukhdev Singh Bhaur, another SGPC executive member, said the government should probe into the Talhan violence so that such incidents do not occur in future.

Prof Jodh Singh, editor-in-chief, Encyclopaedia of Sikhism, said that both the Punjab government and the SGPC were responsible for the clashes in Talhan. "If the administration was lax in checking the incidents, the SGPC, which failed to put across the message of Sikhism where there is no place for casteism, is equally to blame," he said.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
