Sehajdhari Sikh Party hails the decision of PM to keep control on appointment of Gurdwara Election Commission.
Jathedar Gurbachan Singh has no right to comment on Navjot Sidhu for holding havans as Sehajdhari Sikh are already considered non-Sikhs by the SGPC.
Commenting upon the recent statements of the Akal Takht Jathedar Gurbachan Singh that Navjot Sidhu is not a Sikh as he holds havens at his residence, Dr.Ranu said that when the Sikh leadership and SGPC is not recognizing Sehajdharis as Sikhs then what the right they have to comment on the traditions of Sehajdharis whether they pray in temples or do havans or go to deras or to gurdwaras. It’s the result of weakness and indifferent attitude of the Sikh leadership that the Sikhs are turning towards other religions and traditions.
Shri Guru Granth Sahib is the most prestigious religious Holly scribe in the world but our Sikh leaders have failed to spread its mission of love and peace. He clarified that his party has appreciated the move of separate Gurdwara Panel for Haryana Sikhs but has been strongly opposing the move of the Hooda Govt. for diluting the religion by changing the parent definition of ‘Sikh’ which has created a wedge amongst the community. Now non-keshdharis born in Sikh families are legally left without any religion and virtually they are not Hindus and do not belong to any other religion but legally they cannot claim to be Sikhs. It’s a big crisis which will create big hurdles in the society in the near future. More than 80 % of the Sikh population is significantly of these Sehajdharis (non-keshdhari) Sikhs. It is mentionable here that the SGPC elected in 2011 was nullified by the orders of the High Court and has gone defunct in the case of voting rights issue pending in the Supreme Court now and only the 15 members executive Committee is functioning.
