Kathunangal, Amritsar, Oct 25: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD-Amritsar)

president

Simranjit Singh Mann was seriously injured in a clash with SAD (Badal)

and

Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) officials at a function

here

today, police sources said.

According to the police, five to six others from both the sides also

sustained injuries. They had been rushed to hospitals in Amritsar.

Mann who was attacked with 'kirpans' by members of the SGPC task force,

sustained head injuries and has been rushed to a hospital in Amritsar,

an

eyewitness said. His condition was described as serious.

Police sources said the clash took place inside the premises of the

historic

gurdwara of Baba Buddha Sahib on the occasion of the 500th birth

anniversary

celebrations of Baba Buddha at a village on the Amritsar-Pathankot

National

Highway.

The village is the birthplace of Baba Buddha, who was the first head

granthi

(priest) of the Harmandir Sahib, during the period of the fifth Sikh

Guru

Arjan Dev.

According to police sources, the clash took place when Mann and his

supporters were stopped by the SGPC task force from attending the birth

anniversary function organised by the SAD (Badal) and the SGPC. Mann

and his

supporters insisted on moving towards the platform on which were seated

former Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal, former Haryana Chief

Minister O P

Chautala, BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu, SGPC Chief Avtar Singh Makkar and

a

number of other senior leaders.

A verbal duel ensued between the task force and SAD (Badal) supporters

on

the one hand and Mann on the other. At this stage supporters of both

the

groups drew out their swords and advanced at each other. In the meele

that

followed Mann was hit by a sword on the head and he immediately

collapsed in

a pool of blood.

Mann, a former MP from Sangrur, is the brother-in-law of Punjab Chief

Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.

It is not for the first time that Mann has insisted on attending a

function

organised by the SGPC and the Badal Dal. An unsavoury situation had

erupted

when unsheathed swords were brandished during the quadricentennial

celebrations of the foundation of Akal Takht at Gurdwara Manji Sahib

inside

the Golden Temple complex in June when the SGPC refused to give time to

Mann

to address the Sikh congregation after Badal had finished speaking.

Later in July, during a function to mark the 400th martyrdom

anniversary of

Guru Arjan Dev at Tarn Taran, Mann raised a voice for reviving the

Anandpur

Sahib draft of 1973 from the stage of SGPC in the presence of BJP

national

president Rajnath Singh thereby putting Badal in an embarrassing

position.

The SGPC chief Jathedar Makkar had yesterday warned that the Punjab

government would be responsible for any disturbance on the occasion of

the

birth anniversary celebrations of Baba Buddha.

Mann had earlier declared that under no circumstances would his party

tolerate that the glorious history of Sikhs be tainted by the

participation

of Chautala and Sidhu in a religious function.

He had stated that the politics of these two political leaders was

'inimical

to Sikh and Punjabi interest''.

all I can say is ******* idiots, need to be dealt by the real khalsa, idiots fighting against each other, SGPC are just pathetic :D

[Prem]

On the day that Sikhs in Denmark want to prove that the kirpan is a symbol and worn with responsibility, we have Sikh leaders almost killing each other with their kirpans! Congratulations!

The Sikh 'leadership' is the most pathetic on Earth

The Sikh 'leadership' is the most pathetic on Earth

and to add to that, the SGPC and other so called sikh missionaries are displaying wrongful act, and should be ousted out by the sangath. Silly people have no respect of Guru ji, hence they should go to hell!

[Prem]

How can we show our face in Denmark or elsewhere and say that kirpan is a responsible symbol of religion, and we are harmless and no threat, when our 'leaders' are almost killing each other with the kirpan? We are pathetic. Our leaders are pathetic. When our leaders use kirpan like this, who can argue and say that Sikhs living in Denmark or elsewhere will not do the same? They are brutal thugs, and they turn kirpan into a symbol of thuggery, rather than what it is, or religious dignity. These people are making life hell for us. What a disgrace!

[nanosecond]

The News is a major headline on almost all Indian News Channels......seems like Mann is very serious.........lets all pray for him.

[Prem]

Well, can you blame anyone if he does not recover, when they say that Sikhs are violent and act like thugs? This is supposed to be our leadership! And then the whole world will see what kind of fools we are. And how can we argue that kirpan is to be trusted in the West, when our 'leaders' use it to try and kill each other!
