Slamming the Akali leaders for trying to demean the position of Jathedar takht sahib, the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday said that state government will take severest of severe action against accused of this sin, in case of any complaint.
In a message, the Chief Minister said that since centuries Jathedar Takht Sahib had been a supreme temporal authority of Sikhs. However, he said that from last few hours the entire humanity has seen the shameful face of Akali leaders who are trying to demean the authority of Jathedar sahib for their vested interests. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that Akali leaders have shamefully shown grave disrespect to the authority of Jathedar Takht Sahib which is unwarranted and undesirable.
The Chief Minister said that the agnostic and haughty attitude of Akali leaders just to appease their political bosses from one family is highly condemnable. He said that this family has already done irreparable damage to Punjab in general and Sikh community in particular. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that recent act of Akali leadership has bruised the psyche of Sikh community and the people responsible for this heinous act will never be forgiven.
