Amarinder Singh Raja Vading and CM Bhagwant Mann.

There has been a political ruckus in Punjab on the statement of Shri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh. The Jathedar had told the Sikhs to keep licensed modern weapons. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann took a strong stand on this. He bluntly told the Jathedar to spread the message of Gurbani, not weapons. In which there is a fantasy of doing good to Sarbat. Describing the statement of the Jathedar as dangerous, the Congress demanded his removal from the post.

Jathedar should not advocate for weapons: Mann
CM Bhagwant Mann said that the Jathedar of Akal Takht should not praise weapons. Instead, the message of peace and brotherhood should be given. Mann said that we live in a civilized society. Where the country is governed by the rule of law. Weapons have no place in a warm-hearted and good-willed society. Mann said that already some opposing forces are trying to spoil the atmosphere of Punjab. Weapons can pose a challenge to the peaceful environment in every home.

Jathedar’s statement dangerous: Vading
Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Vading said that the statement given by Akal Takht Jathedar about modern weapons without facts is mischievous. It is dangerous for the brotherhood of Punjab. For the peace of Punjab, I demand his removal from this high position. He remains the spokesperson of the mischievous forces. Vading asked that the Jathedar should tell why Sikh youth need weapons.

It was said by the Jathedar..
Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh had said that in view of today’s situation it has become necessary that Sikhs and especially Sikh youth should keep modern weapons in a legal manner. Time is like this. The situation has also become like this.
