Panj Piyare articulated the will of the Panth: Dal Khalsa

Amritsar- Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh today while
endorsing the decision of the Panj Piyare ordering the SGPC to remove
the Takhat Jathedar’s, said Panth has spoken through the Five beloved
Ones of Akal Takhat. In other words, the organization said Panj
Piayare have articulated the will and desire of the Khalsa Panth.
Kanwar Pal Singh, who was released on bail from Amritsar jail after 14
days of detention for waging poster campaign against the faulty
decision of the Takhat Jathedar’s in pardoning heretical cult head
Gurmeet Ram Rahim while talking with the media outside Akal Takhat
secretariat said the SAD and SGPC should read the writing on the wall.
Being appointing authority of Takhat jathedar’s, they should remove
all the present incumbents as they had lost the credibility and trust
of the community. He said Akali politics have done enough damage to
religious institutions and now Khalsa panth is up in arms against the
wrongdoings of Akali Dal. “Both Akalis and Jathedar’s were equally
guilty of creating situations that has put the panth into deep
crisis”. Noting the significance of present situation, he said
earlier, executive members of SGPC have removed the Jathedar’s on the
behest of their political masters but this time it is the entire Panth
that’s urging the sacking of present incumbents”.

On Panj Piyara institution, he said when Panth is in crisis, five
baptized Sikhs who are committed to Panthic ideals and adhere by Sikh
Reyat Maryada, can challenge anyone who is guilty of damaging and
ruining the Sikh principles, maryada,and honour of the community. he
lauded the courage shown by Five beloved ones in rising to the
occasion. He said in the Badal regime when pasting posters urging the
Sangat to boycott Jathedar’s can become crime, Panj Piayare’s have
acted boldly as per the wishes of the Sikh Sangat.

Akali Dal Panch Pardani leader Harpal Singh Cheema reiterated that
Jathedar’s should be shown the doors immediately as they had lost the
faith and face. He was even critical of Jathedar Avtar Singh Makkar
for his sommersault in this matter.

Dal Khalsa’s Sarabjit Singh Ghuman and Gagandeep Singh were also
present on the occasion.
