Amritsar
\nThe SGPC task force didn\u2019t allow Master Johar Singh, former president of the Chhota Ghallughara Gurdwara Management Trust, Qadian<\/p>\n
(Gurdaspur), to perform \u2018sewa\u2019 in the Golden Temple complex today. He had arrived in response to the \u2018hukumnama\u2019 pronounced by the<\/p>\n
\u2018parallel\u2019 Jathedars.<\/p>\n
Master Johar Singh was held guilty of religious misconduct as he was at the helm when a management member, Buta Singh, was allegedly<\/p>\n
caught in a compromising position with a woman on the gurdwara premises on August 11.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sarbat Khalsa\u2019-appointed Akal Takht acting Jathedar Dhyan Singh Mand and Takht Damdama Sahib \u2018parallel\u2019 Jathedar Baljit Singh Daduwal<\/p>\n
had awarded him \u2018tankhah\u2019 (religious punishment) on October 12.<\/p>\n
Around 12:30 pm, members of the task force stopped him at one of the entrances to the shrine. Johar Singh said: \u201cWhen I resisted, they told<\/p>\n
me that they were acting on the orders of SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar and Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh. They also<\/p>\n
refused to acknowledge the authority of Jathedar Mand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe SGPC has made the holiest Sikh shrine its fiefdom,\u201d he added. Johar Singh was also summoned by Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan<\/p>\n
Singh over the August 11 incident, but he didn\u2019t turn up.<\/p>\n
Golden Temple manager Sulakhan Singh said Johar Singh was stopped from performing \u2018sewa\u2019 as he was going to do it on the directions of<\/p>\n
those (\u2018parallel\u2019 clergy) who had no official sanctity. \u201cIf he abides by the orders of Giani Gurbachan Singh, he will get the go-ahead for voluntary<\/p>\n
service,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
