AMRITSAR: Today 's historic decision has reestablished the Sovernity of Akal Takt Sahib on the Sikh masses both in India and abroad.For the past several decades the Sidhant( principle)of Miri and Piri was conveniently compromised by the political class in favour of Miri.
The pantakh issues were deliberately relegated to win over votes of certain derras. The pain, sorrow and sufferings of people of Punjab were brushed under the carpet and the leaders forgot to hold the hands of the people who had lost their near and dear ones during the dark days.One generation of Sikh youth ( More than 25 000) were eleminated.
The decision of the five Sikh Sahibans may usher in a new political dawn for the Shiromani Akali Dal and may establish new political equations in future.The agitated minds of the Sikh and Punjabi world would come to peace and now they would look upto Akal Takt Sahib with hope for bright future for Sikh Community and prosperous Punjab.
