Congress Deputy leader in the lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday urged the Akal Takht to remain above politics to maintain highest sanctity of this sacred institution.
The Amritsar MP asked the Sikhs’ highest temporal seat to give its blessings to the newly constituted Haryana SGPC, besides “revoking the ex-communication of three prominent Sikh leaders” from that State.”Shri Akal Takhat Sahib is too high an institution to be seen to be political and it must remain above politics,” he said. Amarinder said, “With all humility, I am saying that there was no violation of maryada in constituting Haryana SGPC as it was very much the demand of the Sikhs there… Staying its constitution does not behove well for Akal Takhat Sahib as its constitution has not violated any maryada.”
