Delhi Akali chief Sarna cautions Bhagwant Mann, Warring, Bittu over gurbani relay from Darbar Sahib

JALANDHAR: Former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president Paramjit Singh Sarna has alleged Sikh coordinated attempts by a few Congress leaders and AAP to capture the airwaves carrying Gurbani from Darbar Sahib, Amritsar.


"Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Congress president Raja Warring and MP Ravneet Bittu have one thing in common – all three are apostate from Sikhi and all three are hand in glove to dispossess the Sikh parliament of its rights to relay gurbani from the holiest Sri Darbar Sahib," said Sarna, who is also president of Delhi unit of Akali Dali, in a statement issued on Monday.


"The likes of Bittu, who leaves no opportunity to run down on the Sikhs to appease his vote bloc, took no time to support rival Bhagwant Mann over his ‘obnoxious’ call to strip the SGPC of gurbani broadcast in what was a clear manifestation of an AAP-Congress conspiracy aimed at the SGPC," he said.

"Raja Warring is another character who wears and dumps the turban on whim. He also joined hands with Bhagwant Mann on the same matter. Why? That’s because both AAP and Congress desperately want to expel the Sikhs out of gurbani broadcast from Darbar Sahib," said the former DSGMC chief.

"It is better that Mann, Bittu and Warring drop their plans to infiltrate the functioning of Darbar Sahib," he said while denouncing Mann government for “its high-handedness against several private broadcasters, which have recently been taken off air in Punjab because they refused to do AAP’s bidding”.

Sarna advised the chief minister not to even dream of controlling gurbani broadcast and use the medium for his own anti-Sikh agenda.

"No Sikh will ever allow any group, organization or political party of apostates and with anti-Sikh ideology to destabilize the SGPC, the sole parliament of Sikhs and it will solidly safeguard the gurbani airwaves from Sri Darbar Sahib from any nefarious and malicious conspirators," Sarna added.
