Controversy arose after the withdrawal of security of Shri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh. Even after a few hours, the Punjab government restored his security, but he refused to seek the protection of the Punjab Police. At the same time, the Jathedar of Shri Kesgarh Sahib has also sent back his security personnel. The security of both the Jathedars will now be done by the SGPC Task Force.

According to the information received, half the security of Giani Harpreet Singh as well as Jathedar of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib Giani Raghubir Singh was also withdrawn. As soon as Mr. Harpreet Singh refused to take the rest of the security personnel, along with him, Giani Raghubir Singh also sent back the rest of his security personnel. Now Giani Harpreet Singh and Giani Raghubir Singh will be guarded by members of the SGPC task force.

Security has also been provided to Giani Harpreet Singh at Shri Akal Takht Sahib in Amritsar. At the same time, the Jathedar of Shri Kesgarh Sahib, Giani Raghubir Singh has also been provided security by the SGPC task force.

SGPC Do not want to interfere in the work of the government

The Deputy Secretary said that the SGPC never wanted to interfere with the work of the government. Whether or not to take back anyone’s security is the government’s own decision, but taking back the security of the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib is a matter of concern. The intention of the government is not clear.

The opposition also opposed the decision of the Chief Minister

After the decision of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, where there was anger among the Sikhs, the opposition parties also targeted him. While Akali President Sukhbir Badal called Mann Sarkar a puppet of Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal, Manjinder Singh Sirsa has said that politics should reach the lowest level.

AAP government is a puppet of anti-cult Arvind Kejriwal

Sukhbir Badal said that the AAP government has exposed itself as a puppet of anti-Punjab and anti-cult Arvind Kejriwal by withdrawing the official security cover of the highly respected Jathedar Sahiban of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. The sordid drama has exposed his hatred and disrespect for Sikh institutions. Jathedar Sahiban is protected by the blessings of Akal Purakh, Guru Sahiban and Panth. The security with them was positioned only as a mark of respect to society for their universally respected positions.

Politics has fallen to the cheapest level – Sirsa

BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that the Punjab government has reduced to the cheapest and lowest level of politics by taking back the security of Jathedar Sri Akal Takht Sahib, but he congratulated Giani Harpreet Singh for the wonderful response. Support his decision to surrender government security. Every Sikh is committed to their safety.

Jathedar Sahib should not be associated with VIP culture – Aujla

MP Gurjit Aujla said that ending VIP culture by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is a good thing, but it is wrong to withdraw the security given to Jathedar Sahib as an honor. It is an honor for the Punjab Police to provide security to the supreme religious figure. Jathedar Sahib should not be associated with VIP culture.
