Sarbat Khalsa Acting Jathedar Excommunicates Giani Iqbal Singh For His Controversial Remarks In Ayodhya

                             Bhai Dhian Singh Mand

The Sarbat Khalsa appointed acting Akal Takht Jathedar Bhai Dhian Singh Mand has excommunicated the former Takht Sri Patna Sahib’s Jathedar Giani Iqbal Singh for terming Sikh Gurus as descendants of Hindu Lord Rama’s sons Luv-Kush


              
 Notably, Giani Iqbal Singh had hurt Sikh sentiments by giving this statement while attending Ram Mandir’s inauguration at Ayodhya. Bhai Dhian Singh Mand has directed the Sikh community to not use “Giani” or “Jathedar” title for Iqbal Singh and socially boycott him.

It is pertinent to mention here that Giani Iqbal Singh has clarified in an interview that he didn’t make any self-styled statement. “What I said in Ayodhya, has been clearly written in Ramavtar part of Dasam Granth,” he said.
