Sirsa, January 24

Politicians of different hues from the poll-bound Punjab are likely to arrive at the congregation of the Dera Sacha Sauda, being organised at its headquarters here on Tuesday.

While followers have started arriving at the Dera headquarters, sources indicated that a number of political leaders and activists from Punjab could be among the visitors tomorrow.

The event is being organised on the occasion of the 103rd birth anniversary of the second Guru of Dera Sacha Sauda, Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj. Dera followers from different states will reach for the satsang program, which will run from 11 am to 2 pm. Dera management and officials are busy in the preparations for the event.

The Dera sources said some message from the Dera head Gurmeet Ram Rahim could also be read out for the sangat during tomorrow’s meeting. He is lodged in the Sunaria jail in Rothak after getting life term in murder and rape cases in 2017 and again in 2021.

“The Dera management has sent a message to the followers to stay at their homes in view of the Covid pandemic and join the ‘naamcharcha’ from their homes via YouTube and Facebook. But already thousands of people have arrived and more are expected to streak in by tomorrow,” he stated.

The Dera has a significant influence in Punjab and political parties and leaders are eager to seek the “blessings” of the Dera.

No discussion on politics at meeting

There will be no political discussion at the meeting. The political wing of the Dera management takes any political decision just a couple of days before the polling in any state. But definitely, political leaders are expected to arrive on Tuesday and likely to call on officials of the dera management. An official, Dera Sacha Sauda
