Amritsar- Holding Mr. Badal fully responsible
for the present mess within the Sikh community, the Dal Khalsa has
termed the edict of the Akal Takht
excommunicating the Sikh leaders of Haryana as unprincipled and declared
it unacceptable.
Dal Khalsa head H S Dhami and spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh in
their strong reaction said the series of developments starting from SAD’s core
committee meet at Chandigarh last evening up till the declaration made by Takht
Jathedar has imprint of Badals.
They said the Hukamnama released from the Akal Takht was drafted
and finalized by SAD’s core committee in Chandigarh yesterday. They said the so-called resolution passed in
the SGPC meet was also prepared on the instructions of Badal and executive members
were compelled to sign on dotted lines. Blaming Parkash Singh Badal and Sukhbir
Singh Badal for blatantly misusing the seat and seal of the Akal Takht to fix
their adversaries, they fired a salvo against both father-son for making jathedar
Akal Takht as their subservient and the SGPC as an extension counter of their ‘Akali
Dal’.
They felt Jagdish Singh Jhinda, Didar Singh Nalvi and third
Sikh have been excommunicated arbitrarily and with no fault of them. Asking for
their right to manage gurdwaras independent of Badals was no way a sin”, said
they.
Dal Khalsa leaders said that Badals were unable to digest
their moral defeat and in the desperation they were all set to destroy the supremacy
and sanctity of august seat of jathedar of Akal Takht and the credibility of
the SGPC. They said Senior Badal’s name would
be written in the black words in the history of the premier institution, as it
is under his leadership that the SGPC got fragmented. “Instead of further deepening
the internal bickering, senior Badal should resign owing his failure to win the
trust and confidence of Sikhs living outside Punjab”.
They
said a bad trend has been set by different Akali factions by seeking
the help of BJP or Congress every then and now to settle their religious
matters like management
of their Gurdwaras.
