Amritsar, September 6: – Holding Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his Deputy Chief Minister son Sukhbir Singh Badal responsible for denigration of Sikh institutions including Akal Takht and the SGPC, the Dal Khalsa said nothing was more shameful than the tug of war between SGPC and DSGMC purely on egoistical reasons.
Party spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said it’s strange that heads of both the institutions were showing other in poor light while claiming that they were following dicktat’s of Sukhbir Singh Badal, who by proxy has been calling the shots be it in religious or political sphere of Sikhs. “It’s ironic that the person who has made all prestigious institutions of Sikhs subservient to his politics has scant respect for Sikh principles, ideology and values”, he added.
He said tone and tenor of statements issued against each other by both SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar and DSGMC President Manjit Singh GK on Singh is Bling film row showed that they lack maturity and wisdom. He blamed Badals for creating bad blood between both the institutions by pitting their heads against each other.
He said the statement of Sikh Students Federation (Mehta) leader Paramjit Singh Khalsa also assumed significance as he had lashed out at Badals for reducing the Jathedar of Akal Takht and SGPC head as their puppets
He observed that the internal situation within the community was dismal and there was total chaos and mistrust against religious and political leadership.
