Amritsar – Refusing to acknowledge the Sarbat Khalsa appointed parallel ‘Jathedars’, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal today said: “There are norms and tenets to appoint the Akal Takht Jathedar.”
Sukhbir, along with his wife and Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, today paid obeisance at Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), Amritsar.
On June 17, the parallel ‘Jathedars’ had passed the “gurmata” (decree) and summoned the Deputy CM on July 20 asking him to submit the action-taken report on the incidents of sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib.
It is to be noted that SGPC has also already refused to accept the resolutions recently passed by Sarbat Khalsa appointed Jathedars.
