Amritsar Sahib (KP) - Panthic Weekly has received information that Sri Akal Takht Sahib has summoned anti-Panthic writer Inder S. Ghagga and his associates for their mis-parchar against the Sikh Nation.
The sandesh signed by Jathedar Joginder Singh Vedanti, has ordered a boycott of Inder S Ghagga, Gurcharan S Jeeonwala, Manjit S Sihota, Karamjit S Gill, Amandeep S Kang, Gurmit Sinh, Parminder S Parmar, and Jasbir S Mangat, and banned them from utilizing any Panthic stage or platform.

SANDESH
Akal Takht Sahib has been notified by the Ontario Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Toronto, Sri Guru Singh Sabha Malton Mississauga, Sikh Spiritual Center Toronto, Gurdwara Jot Parkash Sahib Toronto, Ontario Gurdwara Sikh Council, and other affiliated Gurdwara Sahibs and Sikh Sangat from Toronto, Canada, that Prof. Inder Singh Ghaggha, author of “Sada BeRa Eao Garkeya”, who is also a staunch supporter of Gurbaksh Sinh Kala Afghana’s anti-Gurmat views, has been trying to cause confusion within the local Sangat with joint efforts of Gurcharan Singh Jeonvala, Manjit Singh (Sahota), Karamjeet Singh (Gill), Amandeep Singh (Kang) Gurmeet Singh, Parminder Singh Parmar and Jasbir Singh.
Looking at the rising tensions and concerns within the local Sangat, it is being mandated by Akal Takht Sahib that until Prof. Inder Singh Ghaggha does not appear before Akal Takht Sahib, and seeks an apology to assure that his anti-Gurmat writings (“Sada BeRa Eao Garkeya” and others) will be discontinued for further publication and circulation, him and his supporters, namely: Gurcharan Singh Jeonvala, Manjit Singh (Sahota), Karamjeet Singh (Gill), Amandeep Singh (Kang) Gurmeet Singh, Parminder Singh (Parmar) and Jasbir Singh (Mangat) and other supporters should not be allowed to speak from any Gurdwara Sahib or Panthic stage.
Sikh Sangat is also being advised to not offer any kind of support to any seminars or conferences organized by the persons who have been put into question. Along with that, Sikh Sangat should keep up their efforts to raise awareness of anti-Panthic activities of these individuals.
