As expected, Avtar Singh Makkar staged a comeback for the fifth time in a row when he got re-elected as the President of the SGPC with a thumping majority by cornering as many as 139 votes of a total of 164 members present in the general house meeting of the Mini Parliament of the Sikhs here today.

Makkar’s chief opponent Harbans Singh Kandola, who had the support of rebel Akali leaders led by the Shiromani Panthic Council chief Manjit Singh Calcutta, could get only 25 votes at the meeting, which started around 1.20 pm at Teja Singh Samundri Hall and lasted for slightly over two hours.

The SGPC has a total of 180 members and out of them 170 are active members, having voting rights.

Rebel Akali leader Calcutta, who had got support from the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (HSGPC-ad hoc) chief Jagdish Singh Jhinda, on Tuesday evening boycotted the meeting, saying that at least two members from Haryana should be taken in the executive of the SGPC. He, however, faced criticism on the issue today.

Apart from the inclusion of Bibi Ravinder Kaur in the interim committee, there was no major change in the executive body or office-bearers of the SGPC even as some major changes were expected this time.

Besides Makkar, those who were re-elected to the four-member team of top office-bearers included Raghujit Singh Virk as senior vice-president, Kewal Singh Badal as junior vice-president and Sukhdev Singh Bhaur as general secretary. Apart from Bibi Ravinder Kaur, those who were able to make a re-entry to the 11-member interim committee included Surjit Singh Garhi, Sant Tek Singh Dhanaula, Rajinder Singh Mehta, Mohan Singh Bangi, Gurbachan Singh, Dyal Singh Kalianwali, Bhajan Kaur Dogran, Nirmail Singh Jaula Kalan, Karnail Singh Panjoli and Suba Singh Dabwali.All-India Shiromani Akali Dal senior vice-president Malkit Singh Nagpur also followed Calcutta and boycotted the meeting alleging that the SGPC had been “mismanaged” by a group of people having a “brute majority” in the house.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
