Ottawa, Canada. Sarah Houston,The IndUS Canada Foundation (ICF) has called for the resignation of Acting Akaal Takhat Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj alleging that recent remarks and actions have led to confusion regarding Sikh religious principles and terminology.

The issue was discussed during a virtual meeting from Ottawa (Canada), convened by ICF which was attended by representatives of 28 Sikh temples and 17 Indian NRI associations from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries.

According to ICF President Vikram Bajwa the term “Guru Dokhi” holds profound religious significance in Sikhism and has traditionally been associated with acts of disrespect or opposition to the teachings and sanctity of Guru Granth Sahib. He said that many members of the Sikh diaspora believe that extending such terminology to matters involving photographs or contemporary political disputes risks diluting established Sikh religious principles and the spirit of Sikh maryada. He further stated that Sikh institutions must remain committed to the teachings and principles enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib and should avoid ‘political instigated’ actions that may create confusion among the Sikh community.

NRI’s from New York , Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle , San Francisco, Washington DC.,Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, participated in the zoom meeting , with unanimous decision, asking Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj to resign with immediate effect for distorting the Hukamnama, issued to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann., who acknowledges that he is framed in a frivolous political issue , in the run up to Punjab Elections, said Awtar Dhillon from New York.
