Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal, today asked the Punjab Chief Minister to stop dictating to the Khalsa Panth how it should run its religious affairs, or spread the message of the great Guru Sahiban to the Sikh Sangat through the sacred Gurbani and its telecast mode. Bhagwant Mann must stop the arrogant perfidy of acting as the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib or as the elected president of the Sikh religious parliament, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. What are his credentials to speak on behalf of the Khalsa Panth when he brazenly and openly flouts every norm of Sikh rehat maryada Has he been elected by the Sikh Sangat to manage its sacred spiritual or religious affairs Does he even qualify as a voter for the supreme elected religious institution of the Sikh quom, the SGPC If not, then will he please explain to the Sikh Sangat on whose behalf is he meddling in the most sacred religious affairs of the Khalsa Panth, that too at the highest sanctum sanctorum of our religion Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib asked Mr Grewal . Grewal said that the Sikh quom fails to understand why Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib has always been targeted by evil eyes, since the times of Mughals down to Indira Gandhi and now Bhagwant Mann. They know that this is the fountainhead from where the Sik quom draws its spiritual strength. So they want to target, weaken and grab it away from us. The Akali leader was addressing media persons at the party headquarters this afternoon. Grewal called upon the Sikh Sangat to beware of and expose the deep-rooted and devious conspiracies of anti-Sikh elements and their stooges, attempting to defame not only the SGPC and the SAD but also the entire Sikh quom by foul-mouthing religious representatives and defaming religious shrines.
