My commitment is to Panthic interests, nothing else : Panjoli

Karnail-Singh-Panjoli-SikAmritsar, October 8: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Executive Committee Member Karnail Singh Panjoli today made it abundantly clear that his singular commitment was to the Panthic interests for the cause of which he would continue to fight till his last breathe. The offices or membership of any committee was meaningless in the backdrop of this noble cause and no power on earth could stop him from pursuing this path.

He asserted he had always opposed that very decision which hurt Panthic interests, Panthic doctrine, institutions, traditions and conventions. He said safeguarding Panthic interests was central to his political life and he would continue to perform this duty till the very end.

“The people would teach a lesson at an appropriate time to those leaders who are exploiting Panthic principles, institutions and rich traditions for furthering their parochial politics interests which has triggered strong resentment among the Sikh masses”, he added.

Commenting up the decision of the Akali Dal leadership to drop him from the Sub-Committees of the SGPC, Mr. Panjoli said, “The membership of these sub-committees is meaningless when every small decision is taken in Chandigarh. It is the Panthic cause that is my priority rather than the membership of such useless committees. I am a pain in the neck of those misusing these institutions for their narrow political interests as I have always opposed all those decisions which have not been consonance with the Panthic interests. Therefore, I am not surprised at this decision of the selfish political leadership nor there is any disappointment”.

He questioned the leadership of the Shiromani Akali Dal created to articulate the political aspirations of the Panth as to which Panthic interests have been served by rejecting original Nanakshahi calendar in favour of Bikarmi calendar or by exonerating Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmit Ram Rahim.

The Sikh leader said the fact of the matter was that the present Akali leadership had put at stake the Panthic interests for the sake of parochial and selfish political interests. This had led to the denigration of the high Panthic institutions which was the most alarming aspect of the present situation, he added.
