Sikh community will never tolerate government interference in the religious affairs: Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Grgajj
The purpose of the Miri-Piri Khalsa March is to unite the Panth and connect it with Sikhism - Advocate Dhami
FEROZEPUR: Sri Akal Takht Sahib is the eternal and supreme place established by the Gurus. Those who have clashed with it have never succeeded. This was expressed by Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj while addressing a large gathering of devotees during the Miri Piri Khalsa March. He said that governments are here today, they will not be here tomorrow, but the Guru's Takht will remain forever.
He said that the religious and internal affairs of the Sikh Panth can be decided only according to the tradition and manners of the Guru Panth. No government has the right to decide where the holy form of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji should be adorned or where it should not be taken. He said that the law should take its course against those who commit sacrilege and the culprit should be severely punished, but the Sikh community will never accept the government's interference in religious matters.
He said that religion is a matter of faith and belief. Sikh history is a witness to the fact that the nation has made all kinds of sacrifices to protect its religious freedom and dignity, but has never bowed down to any pressure.
He said that the purpose of the Miri-Piri Khalsa March is also to connect the Sangat with the Guru, strengthen Sikh principles and give a message of unity in the nation. Referring to the youth standing at various places holding anti-Guru and anti-Khalsa Panth posters, he said that there is great anger among the youth against those who carry out anti-Panth activities.
He said that the Panth is dedicated to Sri Akal Takht Sahib and respects its every order. He said that history is a witness that Abdali came, Nadir Shah came and many other invaders came and went, but the Guru's Panth remained steadfast. He also inspired to be vigilant against anti-Panth forces.
Speaking during the Khalsa March, SGPC President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the sixth Guru, Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, established Sri Akal Takht Sahib and gave the principle of Miri-Piri. This principle made it clear that the state will remain subordinate to religion. That is why even today the highest place in the Sikh Panth is Sri Akal Takht Sahib and even the biggest personalities come here and bow their heads.
He said that if someone challenges Sri Akal Takht Sahib, the Khalsa Panth will never tolerate it. He said that today it is necessary that we remain alert against anti-Panth forces and connect our children with Gurbani, Gurmat and Sikh history. This is the purpose of the Miri Piri Khalsa March.
The Miri Piri Khalsa March, which started from Sri Akal Takht Sahib with the aim of connecting the youth with the Sikh heritage, national unity, Panthic consciousness and the supremacy of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, is being warmly welcomed by the Sangat at various stages. On the seventh day, today, this Khalsa March left for the next stage, Gurdwara Jamni Sahib, Bajidpur (Ferozepur), Gurdwara Khalsa Diwan Faridkot. Before the departure of the Khalsa March, during the function at Gurdwara Sahib, Granthi Singh Sahib of Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib, Giani Balwinder Singh connected the Sangat with history. After the Ardas at the beginning, Singh Sahib Giani Balwinder Singh adorned the holy Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Palki Sahib and the service of Chaur Sahib was performed by Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami, President of Shiromani Committee.
Miri Piri Khalsa March was warmly welcomed by the Sangat at Ferozepur City, Nurpur Sethan Adda, Rukna Begu, Saiyan Wala, Golewala, Rajoana, New Pipli, Basti Nanaksar, Sadik Chowk Faridkot, Ghanaiya Chowk, Ghanta Ghar Chowk and paid homage to Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Tonight's stage of the Khalsa March will be at Gurdwara Gurdwara Khalsa Diwan Faridkot, from where it will leave for the next stage tomorrow. The bus carrying the weapons of the Guru Sahibs and Shaheed Singhs and the pictures of Shaheed Singhs placed on various vehicles along with the Khalsa March were a special attraction for the Sangat. On this occasion, S. Amritpal Singh conducted a floral service on the Khalsa March.
