Akal Takht Jathedar Attempts To Touch Badal's Feet ?

[Sevadar01]

Regardless to what we think of the individual let's not turn this into a bad mouthing post towards the position of Akal Takht Jathedar !!

[osingh]

I agree we should not use any offensive language such as swear words when addressing any Gursikh no matter what position they hold.

However we have the right to express our opinions and if we see something wrong we should highlight it. The Akal Takht Jathedar is too close to Badal, this is clear for everyone to see. Then we complain when we cannot get justice. We will only get justice and chardi kala for the Sikh Panth when get a leader who is free from the clutches of political leaders such as Badal and Captain.

How was the current Jathedar selected? Vedanti was fired and then Giani Gurbachan Singh was hired, this was wrong. It should not be the SGPC i.e. Akal Dal Badal who selects the Jathedar of the Sikh Panth. It is the Panth who selects the Akal Takht Jathedar.

We need to have a Sarbat Khalsa in which a new Jathedar of AKal Takht is selected by the entire Sikh Panth.

Sorry guys, i did't mean to compare bhai khaniya ji with jathedar of sri akaal takth shaib- jathedar gurbachan singh ji. The point i was trying to make - precedent is already set by bhai khaniya ji showing compassion even to enemies, why one shouldn't use this precedent to people who are against sikhs of this panth to this day and to this age on circumstance like this one.!

I may be comparing apples and oranges here but precedent of showing compassion on extereme circumstances is already been set.

I am sure if sam dristh bhramgyani like bhai khaniya ji were to come today, most so called dvait vaddis would pass fatwas, try to ex-communciate them.

Anyway point being, people need to get over this... the fact is this event was someone funeral, as he was invited..he showed human support by offering satkar to widow parkash badal thats it.

I mentioned this before but whats stopping educated panthic singhs who are abroad and who have done major in political science and punjjabi language to run for next election in punjab if someone is so concerned about punjab and khalsa panth...No Revolution has came just by being comfy arm chair critic.

Action speak louder than words (empty vessel)

i personally don't think the Jathedar of the Sri Akhal Takhat Sahib today is to blame for not having the authority/power to lead the panth. I personally think it's ALL of our fault as if we as a panth were strong, no Badal would have the guts to try to control the Jathedaar. It's becuase of us, we have Badal who controls the Jathedaar.

The responsibility lies alot closer to home...but it's always earier to point fingers at others. If the panth is not in good times, we're to blame but the good news is that we the panth are also the solution too! For me, t's just a matter of how long we're going to keep pointing fingers and not actually do anything?

Nothing wrong with dreaming from dream, seed is planted, slowly slowly it becomes reality. Panthic youth bodies need to first "desire" to make a difference in SGPC/Sri Akaal Takth Sahib/Punjab elections, then slowly take baby steps to have apply for seat in SGPC elections, punjab elections, keep captalizing on it then sky is a limit..!!!

Bhai Harnam Singh Dhumma atleast got something right among other things, he himself is american citizen, managed to get into punjab politics, either we could help him and he help us- "i scratch your back- you scratch my back" attitude or panthic youth body can start over and slowly start get into punjab politics.

We need to first realize, politics in general is dirty, there is a reason bhramgyani yodha - baba bir singh nurangabad, sant jarnail singh bhindranwale didn't want anything to do seat, jathedhari, mp, cm as its dirty game and as everything is interconnected (sri akaal takth sahib interconnected with punjab sarkar- they both need each other for funding/votes because We don't live in monarch- so get over it ).

Either we keep hoping for a "change" or be part of politics dirty game by looking at the "bigger and better picture" of benefit of panth. As they say- in rajneeti- gaddhaie nuo bhi bapu banuona penda!!!

Is it not clear that Sant Samaj and Akal Jathedar support this dusht Badal, they do not see him as an enemy. They perform akhand paaths for him, allow him to sit on chair infront of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and gave him panth rattan award.

Did Sant Samaj award him this title?

[osingh]

Hanji, Sant Samaj did not bestow panth rattan award it was the Jathedars of the various Takhts.

[chatanga]

best to make it clear in the first place then, as newcommers to this brilliant forum may think that Sant Samaj had a hand in bestowing the title.

jathedar of akal takht should NOT be touching or even attempting to touch someones feet or even bowing down to anyone or anything but guru granth sahib ji. this video shows slavery.

[Sikhistan]

He shouldn't have done that but not a big issue.

In this same video watch around 5.25 when majithia brought dera radhaswami head (yellow turban & black glasses) and how his security started pointing to shut off camera (?). Majithia wife's mama is radhaswami head (political move to get all dera votes).
