Amritsar: Akal Takht on Tuesday conferred Shiromani Sewa Rattan title on Shiromani Panth Akali Budha Dal head Baba Balbir Singh and Shiromani Raagi title on Golden Temple Hazoori Raagi Bhai Jaswant Singh. Later, SAD leader Gursewak Singh Jawaharke confronted Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh and SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar over the honour bestowed on Baba Balbir Singh. He said the Nihang sect had a controversial past as its ex-chief Baba Santa Singh had been excommunicated after Operation Bluestar (he was later taken back into the fold). Giani Gurbachan Singh said Baba Balbir Singh had contributed to propagating Sikhism among the youth. TNS
