Divisions and conflicts among Sikh groups must end: Bini Jagir Kaur
AMRITSAR: Bibi Jagir Kaur former president Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) Bibi Jagir Kaur on Saturday said divisions and conflicts among Sikh groups must end, asserting that whenever the Jathedars convene, their purpose should be to work for the welfare and unity of the Sikh community.
She also cautioned against using Sri Akal Takht Sahib to fight personal or political battles, saying such actions undermine its dignity and authority
Bibi Jagir Kaur stated that the real Panthic issues are government interference in Sikh institutions, the delay in elections of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, and interference in Gurdwaras and Sikh Takhts. She said protests should be launched against such interference.
She further said that political parties should fight their own political battles separately, especially with the Punjab elections approaching in the coming months, but religious institutions should not be dragged into political conflicts.
Referring to the December 2, 2024, Hukamnama, she said the Sikh community had accepted it wholeheartedly, but added that any Hukamnama which is not accepted by the Panth loses its significance.
She also referred to the controversy surrounding Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, saying that the earlier Hukamnama related to him had to be reconsidered because it was not accepted by the Sikh community.
Bibi Jagir Kaur warned that Jathedars should remain cautious and must not come under pressure from any political party. She stressed the need to maintain the dignity, respect, and sanctity of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
