Amritsar, May 11

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh is caught in a difficult situation on the issue of attack on Bhai Amrik Singh Chandigarh at Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Southhall (UK), on May 8.

The SGPC, the SAD (Delhi) and the Panthic Talmel Sangathan have shown solidarity with Bhai Amrik Singh and sought action against the gurdwara management. The Damdami Taksal, on the other hand, has sought action against the Sikh preacher for allegedly distorting “gurbani”.

A delegation of Damdami Taksal Jatha (Bhindranwale Mehta) approached Akal Takht to demand action against Bhai Amrik Singh.

A day after the UK gurdwara incident, SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal had condemned it. He had stated that any kind of ideological difference could be sorted out with debate and discussion.
