Akal Takht Jathedar Attempts To Touch Badal's Feet ?

[10th regiment 17]

watch from 9.25

Am I dreaming or does he bow down and go to touch his feet but is brought back up ?

[HKaur16 211]

Thats what it seemed like to me I watched it like 5 times

[RebelSingh 164]

i think he was doin pehri pen to the blue pagh wala @ 9:20, who then moved behind dirty badal @ 9:26 onwards, so, it looks like he was doin it 2 badal.

That is Badal's wife's funeral. She was one very corrupt lady and did not even hide this fact. They say when someone would give Badal money(bribe), it is her who would personally take the money and make sure it was the right amount as she was the one who would determined how much a person should give. Plus she is the one who pushed badal to turn her unworthy son Sukhbir into the party chief. Before that, never had anyone ever made their son as successor in the history of Shiromoni Akali Dal. Before the party chief was usually chosen based on seniority.

This family is so corrupt and so ridiculously rich that it is unbelievable. But in the end Badal's wife has left this world and that too without a penny to help her in the next world. So all this money earned through corruption and bribery is of no use, she has left it all here. Only the Naam and Gurbani Paath one does comes in handy in the next world. That is the real Dhan Dhaulat. Like her, Prakash Badal and sukhbir who now live like kings will also leave penniless.

As for the OPs question. I think he is trying to touch his knee out of respect, alot of people do that in Punjab when seeing an elderly person. But since he is Jathadar of the Akal Takht, he should not have done that especially to such a corrupt man like Badal.

Its fine given the circumstances and the event- he is actually at the funeral of someone- its out of respect at human level...if bhai kahaniya ji can feed food or apply medicine to enemies, this is nothing..!!

This is in no way comparable to sir maan bhai sahib bhai Kanhaiya ji. Bhai sahib was naam abhiyaasi Gursikh who was given blessing by sri Guru Gobind Singh ji.

Bhai Kanhaiya was a player of high spiritual state and saw Akal Purakh in everyone.

These so called leaders cannot be compared to this great puratan Gursikh.

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. Is this all just for the cameras? Would bhai Kannaiya ji attend this funeral, give awards, allow him to sit on a seat, the answer is no. Same goes for any truly panthic leader.

Sant Jarnail Singh ji would never allow for this because he lived according to his bachans.

Where was the Jathedar Akal Takht, Harnam Singh, Head Granthi and other leaders during recent Radhaswami protest? Where were these leaders when the funerals of recent Shaheeds took place?

Why did they attend this funeral? Because Badal is has power and money?

Indeed this is ghor kaljug.

Satguru Mehar Karan!

Panth Nuu Sumat Bakshi!

in this age of kalyug, there is no justice in maat log.

only waheguru knows how waheguru will punish the gaadaars of the sikh panth.

[Sevadar01 150]

WOOOWW !!! lost for words !!

[Sevadar01 150]

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 207]

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!!!
