Gurdaspur Resident Files Complaint Over Alleged Gurdwara Protocol Breach
Amarjot Singh, a resident of Gurdaspur in Punjab, has taken a strong stand. He wrote a formal letter to the Jathedar of the Akal Takht. In his letter, Singh demands strict action against Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. He accuses the chief minister of violating the Sikh maryada during a recent religious visit.
Visit to Gurdwara Shri Charan Kamal Sahib Sparks Controversy
The incident occurred at Gurdwara Shri Charan Kamal Sahib in Machhiwara. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini visited the holy shrine to pay his respects. However, a photograph from the visit has caused significant concern among the Sikh community.
The image shows one of the chief minister's armed security personnel standing very close to the Guru Granth Sahib. According to Amarjot Singh, this constitutes a serious breach of religious protocol. The display of weapons in the sacred presence of the Guru Sahib goes against established Sikh traditions.
Questions Raised About Gurdwara Management and BJP Leaders
In his complaint to the Akal Takht, Amarjot Singh raises several important questions. He wants to know why the gurdwara management committee present during the visit did not object to the violation. The committee members were there but apparently took no action to prevent the breach of maryada.
Singh also questions the role of Sikh BJP leaders who accompanied the chief minister. He asks why these leaders, who should be aware of religious protocols, did not attempt to stop the security personnel. Their silence during the alleged violation has become a point of contention.
Call for Strict Action and Accountability
Amarjot Singh's letter emphasizes the need for accountability. He believes that such violations of religious code should not go unchallenged, regardless of the individual's political position. The complaint seeks proper investigation and appropriate measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The matter has drawn attention to the delicate balance between security protocols and religious sensitivities. It highlights how public figures must navigate these spaces with particular care and respect for established traditions.
