Leaders of the Dal Khalsa and SAD (Panch Pardani) under the aegis of Khalsa Action Committee Thursday lashed out at Dera Sachkand Ballan’s Trust for attempting to sever ties with the Sikh community.
At a press conference Bhai Mohkam Singh, H S Dhami, Kanwarpal Singh, Kulbir Singh Barapind and Harpal Singh Cheema said the directive of the Dera Sachkand Ballan was to create a rift and division amongst the Sikh community. They said Dera ballan is just a wing of hindu rss,Ravadassia Sikhs were integral part of Khalsa Panth and Bhagat Ravidas ji was held in high esteem by all Sikhs.they are forceing hindu facism of sikhs under baner of bhagat ji name.
“The move to establish separate religion is a mischief by Dera Ballan trust”. We condemn it, said they and called upon the Ravidassia Sikhs not to get mislead by any such malicious propaganda. To a question, they listed the names of several Ravidassia Sikhs who have sacrificed their lives for the glory of the Sikh Panth.
Taking Dera Sacnkand Ballan Trustee’s to task, they said any disrespect to Guru Granth Sahib would not be tolerated. They took exception on the reports that two Ravidassia Gurdwara’s have formally installed the newly created book- Amritbani Satguru Ravidass maharaj ji”.
They lauded the bold stand taken by Sri Guru Ravidas Sadhu Sampardaye Society in rejecting the directive of Dera Ballan. The leaders said Baba Nirmal Das jore wale and his associates have timely snubbed the move meant to create animosity between Sikhs and Ravidassia Sikhs. The leaders met Baba Nirmal Das to show their solidarity with him. They also praised Samaj Bachao Morcha leader Gian Chand for rejecting the move of Dera Ballan.
The leaders blamed SAD Badal’s wrong policies and approach for Panthic crisis. Kanwarpal Singh said both jathedar of the Akal Takht and SGPC president has miserably failed to handle the situation and resolve the crisis may it be Nanakshahi calendar or excommunication of Prof Darshan Singh. Badalization of the SGPC was the root cause of the problems Sikhs have been facing, said Dhami.
