Fatehgarh Sahib, October 24
Kirpal Singh Badungar, SGPC president, has said anyone can follow the teachings of Gurus and celebrate Gurpurbs, but “hukamnamas” (edicts) of Akal Takht are supreme for the Sikhs; so no Sikh — including a Jathedar — can dare violate them.
His remarks come against the backdrop of RSS-affiliate Rashtriya Sikh Sangat celebrating 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh in Delhi tomorrow.
Badungar was speaking at a seminar organised at Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University here today. “Everyone should celebrate the occasion, but the RSS has a hidden agenda. The SGPC stands by Akal Takht’s 2004 edict, asking Sikhs to remain cautious of the activities of the RSS and its affiliate,” he said. — OC
