Will take action only after getting clarifications: Akal Takht
Akal Takht, the highest spiritual- cum-temporal Sikh seat, has denied giving clean-chit to the controversial movie 'Nanak Shah Fakir' and said it will take action only after receiving clarification from the film maker.
"The clarifications would be available by tomorrow. After going through the clarifications, Akal Takht will take action," head of Akal Takht Gurbachan Singh told reporters.
He denied that he had given any clean-chit to the film.
Several Sikh bodies had been opposing the release of the movie, produced by Harinder Singh Sikka, alleging the film subverts fundamental belief-system of Sikh faith by allegedly portraying Guru Nanak Dev in human-form, via computer graphics or blurred images.
They also objected to playing role of major characters by "apostates".
They argued that since Sikhism was a monotheistic in character and believed in a formless God, the film had hit a low standard with its contentious contents.

SGPC against non-baptised Sikh as chief of Maha Board
Phagwara, Apr 6 (PTI) SGPC President Avtar Singh Makkar said he will oppose at every level the appointment of a non-baptised Sikh as chief of the Management Board of Takht Sri Hazur Sahib at Nanded in Maharashtra.
If needed, he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard, he said here yesterday night.
Makkar termed the recent appointment of BJP MLA Tara Singh by Maharashtra government as Board's chief a "blatant violation of established Sikh tenets, the highly venerated Sikh norms and 'maryada' and direct interference in the religious affairs of Sikhs".
He alleged that a non-baptised Sikh was appointed by Maharashtra government to the key post despite opposition from all concerned quarters, including Sikh 'sangat'.
"If required, I will lead a delegation to PM Modi for seeking his intervention in this connection," he said, adding, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had written to Modi in this connection.

Wet weather failed to dampen enthusiasm for the Australian Sikh Games in Woolgoolga
The Australian Sikh community's major sporting and cultural event was staged at Woolgoolga, north of Coffs Harbour over the Easter weekend.
An estimated 15,000 athletes and spectators from across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia converged on the Coffs Coast for the Australian Sikh Games.
Heavy rain forced the cancellation of outdoor events on Saturday, but the weather cleared on Sunday.
Woolgoolga was an early centre of Sikh migration to Australia and has one of the largest Sikh populations outside India.
The Games included traditional sports like Kabaddi, as well as tug-of-war, cricket and wrestling.

Brutal Assault On British Sikh Man In Birmingham Captured On Video
LONDON – A video showing a Sikh man being brutally beaten up on a crowded street in Birmingham, the UK’s second-largest city, went viral on Internet, prompting the police to launch a probe into the suspected hate crime.
The video, titled ‘Singh Brutally Beaten in Birmingham’, was posted online on the ‘Daily Sikh Updates’ Facebook site. It shows the Sikh man desperately trying to protect his face as a man punches and kicks him while a crowd looks on.
“It is unknown why the Singh was attacked, but the suspects are on the loose. A person can be seen on the doorway unconscious and probably the first victim of the attack. The bystanders refused to help the two victims until a person from the crowd comes in towards the end of the video,” the website said in its appeal for information.
The police have urged the victim to come forward, as they investigate if the attack which took place on Sunday was religiously motivated.
