HC Notice On Sehajdhari Sikhs
CHANDIGARH: Taking up a petition seeking directions to allow Sehajdhari Sikhs as voters in the SGPC elections, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday issued notices to the Gurdwara Election Commission, Union government and the Punjab government among others.
The petitioner has challenged amendments to Section 49 and Section 92 of the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925, whereby Sehajdhari Silchs are not being considered as “Sikhs”. “Sehajdhari Sikhs are those persons, who though not born in Sikh families, follow the religion for all intents and purposes,” reads petition.
The petition filed by Hans Raj through advocates Mansur Ali and H.S. Deol highlighted that in 2002 special voting rights were given to Sehajdhari Sikhs by the respondents, the same clearly showed that Sehajdhari Silchs were recognised as Sikhs.
“It is surprising as to how till 2003 Sehajdhari Sikhs were considered Sikhs, and at present the respondents are restraining the definition of Sikhs by ousting Sehajdhari Sikhs,” the petition said.

Sri Akal Takht Sahib directs SGPC to form ‘censor board’
“The SGPC has been asked to constitute a censor board. Any book, published material and films related to the Sikhism, history and culture will have to be subjected to examination by the board before their release. This is being to done to avoid any controversies in the future,” said Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh.
The five Sikh high priests, led by Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh, have also asked the SGPC to divide Punjab into three regions-Majha, Malwa and Doaba-to spread message of Sikh Gurus and that of “Gurbani” in a better way.
The Dharam Parchar Committee of the SGPC will distribute published material like books on the Sikh religion among Sikhs through Akhand Kirtani Jatha head Baldev Singh and other Sikh religious preachers.
The three regions, according to Giani Gurbachan Singh, will also have SGPC-operated missions on lines of the similar institutions operating in Jammu. “The Sikh high priests will also visit these regions from time to time,” said Giani Gurbachan Singh.
The idea to set-up an SGPC-operated “censor board” came up for discussion among the Sikh high priests after a recent controversy of the publication of two books “Gian Sarovar”- an encyclopedia for primary classes in Punjab-and “Balu De Wal”.
SAD (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Maan had raised objections over the books following which Director-General (School Education) Krishan Kumar had tendered an apology.
The Akal Takht Jathedar had accepted the apology and had asked the Sikh sangat to consider the issue “as closed”.

Floods damage historic gurdwara Pathar Sahib
Sarnas appear before Akal Takht, panel set up on Phoolka charges
Amritsar, Aug 8 – The Sikh high priests Saturday formed a five-member committee to look into a controversy involving 1984 anti-Sikh riots victims’ lawyer H.S. Phoolka and the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president Paramjit Singh Sarna and his brother.
The committee was set up after Sarna and his brother appeared before the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, here Saturday and submitted a written reply before the Sikh high priests to support their allegations against Phoolka.
The Sarna brothers, Paramjit and Harvinder, were summoned by the Sikh high priests last month following a complaint by Phoolka, lawyer of 1984 anti-Sikh riots victims, saying that he was humiliated by them at a meeting in Delhi recently.
The Sarna brothers were asked to explain their stand on the controversy over Phoolka.
The lawyer later told reporters that the allegations against him by the Sarna brothers were a ‘deep-rooted conspiracy’ by the Congress leaders to save those party leaders who were behind the killing of thousands of innocent Sikhs in New Delhi November 1984 in the aftermath of the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her two Sikh bodyguards Oct 31, 1984.
Phoolka, who spearheaded a 26-year-long battle for justice to victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, had last month offered to quit as lawyer of riot victims’ families after Sarna leveled allegations against him for ‘having received crores of rupees for personal benefit’.
