Giani Harpreet Singh (Acting SGPC Jathedar): Awarded ‘Tankhah’ to SGPC President Gobind Singh Longowal and Other Office-Bearers and Members of the Executive committee

In a significant development, Giani Harpreet Singh, SGPC-appointed acting jathedar, today snubbed the Gurdwara body president Gobind Singh Longowal, other office-bearers and members of the executive committee openly in presence sangat at Akal Takht Sahib for being negligent in stopping sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib’s saroops in publishing house at Gurdwara Ramsar Sahib.

All these SGPC functionaries turned up in front of Takht Sahib to apologize for their negligence that led to misappropriation, fabrication, and manipulation of the record related to the holy saroops and as many as 328 saroops going missing.

However, they were not pardoned and the acting Jathedar awarded them ‘tankhah’ instead.

Pulling them in presence of sangat, the jathedar said, “How shameful it is that the staff used to give the ‘saroops’ without following rules and regulations to sangat and pocket the money as per the inquiry report.

He asked them to go for parkarma of Sri Harmandar Sahib sarovar while reciting ‘Satnam-Waheguru’ in their mind and return here. On their return, they again had to stand in front of the Takht Sahib with folded hands.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa:Now Karan Johar Will Have Koffee With NCB

Manjinder Singh Sirsa's complaint against Karan Johar made headway.He reacted with delight after his complaint to the chief of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) alleging drug consumption by Bollywood stars at Karan Johar’s 2019 party made progress.He claimed that 'big names' were going to be revealed.

A complaint against Karan Johar, Deepika Padukone, Vicky Kaushal and others has been forwarded by Narcotics Control Bureau headquarters in Delhi to Mumbai.

This comes after Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa meeting DG NCB Rakesh Asthana and registering a complaint against Karan Johar and other big Bollywood stars.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa in conversation with Republic's Executive Editor Niranjan Narayanaswamy had said, "I met NCB chief and stressed on reinvestigating the matter of drugs of 2019. NCB chief gave assurance of investigation into Karan Johar's party in 2019. Mumbai Police had not responded to Karan Johar house party complaint filed by me last year. There must be two reasons - one, they(Mumbai Police) are hand in glove with them and secondly, that drug is a very common thing."

“Now even if tsunami comes, the investigate will happen, the big names will come out, even political names. ”

Manjinder Singh Sirsa added, "Bollywood must accept that there are black sheep and they need to throw them out. Bollywood should stand with NCB. I am hopeful that the NCB investigation will bring out the big names. I won't stop in the coming days. I'll move to court against Mumbai Police, filing a formal complaint against Mumbai Police also."

'The video of the party is glaring evidence about the incident of illicit drug traffic and abuse by persons belonging to the Indian film industry.' Viral Video from Karan Johar's party.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa singled out Karan Johar and Shahid Kapoor, who were associated with the film Udta Punjab, that dealt with drugs. 

“Drug consumption of Bollywood stars has been shown in many movies like Heroine, Fashion. Karan Johar had made Udta Punjab and Shahid Kapoor was seen consuming drugs and they shamed Punjabis with the film. The truth is that Bollywood stars themselves consume drugs.”
