Hitting back at Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh for trying to blame the SGPC and other Sikh bodies for not trying to organise a joint function, SAD national spokesman Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Sunday said that the reality is that Capt Amarinder and his coterie is all out to scuttle the programs being organized at Gurudwara Ber Sahib on the pious and historic occasion.
“It is shocking that after repeated appeals, written communications and even personal interactions with him to nominate members to the coordination committee as directed by the Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar, Capt Amarinder kept mum for all these days,” he said.
Reminding the Chief Minister of Guru Hargobind Sahib’s principle of Miri-Piri according to which Piri is considered supreme by virtue of its spiritual power, Sirsa said that Miri cannot overrule Piri and the SGPC, DSGMC, Takht Sri Patna Sahib Committee and Takht Sri Hazur Sahib Committee symbolize Piri in this context.
“These Sikh bodies have accordingly planned these functions at Gurudwara Ber Sahib, and as a Sikh Chief Minister, he should accept the principle of Miri Piri,” he said.
