Jathedars summon former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh

AMRITSAR: The parallel Sikh high priests have summoned former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh to appear before them on November 10 and also directed ministers Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa to take action against those responsible for sacrilege and Behbal Kalan firing incidents, failing which strict religious action would be taken against them.

While talking to the media persons here on Monday, parallel acting jathedar of Akal Takht, Dhian Singh Mand said the Sikh high priests had summoned Amarinder to give a clarification on sending his cabinet ministers and MLAs for lifting the Bargari Insaf Morcha.

Mand, who had led the Bargari Insaf Morcha, had said he lifted the morcha on December 9, 2018, after then CM Amarinder Singh had sent his ministers and MLAs to assure them of fulfilling all their demands. “Unfortunately our demands were not met,” he said.

Besides Amarinder, Randhawa and Tript, other Congress leaders summoned by the acting parallel jathedar included Harminder Singh Gill Kulbir Singh Zira and Kushaldeep Singh Kikki Dhillon.
