Sarna asks Akal Takht to summon Ramoowalia

[Azaad]

Senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader had hurt the sentiments of the Sikhs by changing a word in Gurbani at Gurdwara Ratwara Sahib near Chandigarh, president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee Delhi sikh gurdwara Management committee (DSGMC), Paramjit Singh Sarna, has alleged.

At a press conference here today, he said that Ramoowalia, while addressing a religious congregation at the gurdwara, had used the word “daku” instead of “saajan”. This, he said, was blasphemous.

Sarna said that recently managers of the Ramgarhia Gurdwara at Hari Nagar in Delhi had organised a “jagran”. This was against Sikh traditions.

Sarna appealed to the Akal Takht to summon the Akali leaders who had permitted the holding of a"jagran" at the gurdwara. He said that “except for religious ceremonies, no other activity could be allowed on the premises of a gurdwara.”

He appealed to the Akal Takht Jathedar to immediately issue a hukamnama (edict) against Akali leader Ramoowalia for his act of sacrilege. He also pleaded that he be punished as per the Sikh maryada.
