Amritsar, September 10, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami taking strong notice of statement of Iqbal Singh Lalpura, Chairman of National Commission for Minorities (NCM) of trying to assimilate the Sikh existence with Sanatan, has appealed to Jathedar of Akal Takht Sahib to take strict action against him as per the Panthic traditions.
He said that during an event in Delhi recently, Lalpura has expressed fabricated rhetoric against the principles of Sikh faith and the ideology of the holy Gurbani, which has hurt the uniqueness of the Sikh community and its originality.
He said Lalpura has called Sri Guru Nanak Dev, an avatar of Vishnu, which is his mischievous act to please the top leaders of RSS and BJP. Advocate Dhami said that such rhetoric of Lalpura is grossly disrespectful to the ideology of Gurus and the Sikh community, for which strict action should be taken against him.
He said that the holy Gurbani of Sri Guru Granth Sahib connects to only one Akal Purakh (One Timeless being) and incarnation has no place in Sikh faith. Association of Sikh Gurus with Hindu Devi-Devtas by Lalpura is only part of advancing the agenda of the RSS.
Advocate Dhami said that this is a matter of great concern for the Sikh community, in which the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib should intervene so that no such anti-Sikh action is taken in the future and the pride of Sikhs as Sui generis, a district entity is not hurt.
