The organization also apologized to the Punjab CM.
one in release Released in Amritsar, SGPC senior vice-president Raghujit Singh Virk said the chief minister, while intoxicated, visited a highly respected spiritual site of the Sikh community and “violated the Sikh Rahat Maryada (Code of Conduct)”. He asked Mann to accept his mistake and apologize to the entire Sikh community.
“The conduct of the CM shows that he did not give due respect and honor to the Guru Ghar. In this way he also lowered the prestige of the constitutional post of CM.”
AAP is yet to react to the allegations.
Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in the Bathinda district of Punjab is a seat of the temporal authority of Sikhism, and it was here in 1705 that the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, produced the complete version of the scriptures of the religion called the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
SGPC general secretary Karnail Singh Panjoli said that the Chief Minister did not follow the basic rules while going to Guru Ghar. He remarked that if Mann could not stop drinking, he should refrain from prostrating inside the Guru’s house.
The chief minister was among thousands of devotees who offered prayers at the holy temple on the occasion of Baisakhi on Thursday.
“With the blessings of God and the trust of the people, we will leave no stone unturned to fulfill the aspirations of the people,” Mann said.
