PATIALA, Punjab—Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa Dhadrianwale has given a fitting counter response to Harnam Singh Dhumma, an individual who considers himself the head of the age-old respected Damdami Taksal, advising that he fears only Guru Granth Sahib Ji and no one else, let alone some Government-backed “Baba”.
Shortly after the Vaisakhi Samagam at Parmeshar Dwar last month, in which 1715 people had become Amritdhari, an audio recording of Dhumma was circulated in which he had made a number of unnecessary and unfounded derogatory comments against Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa Dhadrianwale.
Speaking within the thousands of people who had gathered from across Punjab at yesterday evening’s monthly Parmeshar Dwar Samagam (Saturday 7 May 2016), also broadcast live, Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa uncovered the authenticity of Dhumma, bluntly labelling this individual as a “Sarkari Sant”.
“Some people despise and loathe at the large scale Gurmat Parchar currently being conducted and they cannot bear the Amrit Sanchar. Some of these people are the heads of institutions, the very people who were supposed to have been leading the work of Gurmat Parchar and Amrit Sanchar. Going astray from their Panthik responsibilities and not utilising their financial resources for this cause, they have instead been much too busy serving their masters. These people have bodyguards and protection cars both in front of and behind them,” Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale said.
In a press note shared with Sikh24, Bhai Dhadrianwale stated –
Ironically, it is a well known fact that the world already knows who in reality is the “Gidhaar”, “Dusht”, “Panth Dokhi” etc. The “Sarkari Sant” Dhumma should realise he has childishly insulted the physical turban of Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa erroneously, yet he himself has tarnished the Dastaar once held by the great Saint Soldier Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale, the Dastaar which was untarnished. Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa reminded Baba Dhumma that he is carrying the weight of that Dastaar. The repute of that Dastaar should have been protected at all costs; it was the duty of Baba Dhumma to do Parchar and conduct Amrit Sanchar across the state to ensure Punjab did not get into its current unfortunate condition. But this “Sarkari Sant” has been too busy flattering his Government associates.
The Sarkari Sants have amassed substantial property and land portfolios by working hand-in-hand with their masters. Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa said the day his good repute is stained, he will come off the Parchar stage. He said the day even one property is shown to be registered in his name, he will come off the Parchar stage.
Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa told the Sangat to be aware of these people. At the same time he sent a message to the Government, through the intelligence agents that would undoubtedly be present listening to the Diwaan, that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Beadbi has not stopped, with another reported at Kakrala village not too long ago. He advised the Government that they should not test the patience of the Sikhs by backing absurd excuses of why Beadbi occurs.
Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa explained many of our people say large numbers of Sangat are in their support and something should be done, but the question is who will the Sangat confront if those agencies conducting the religious sacrilege remain unknown? Bhai Ranjit Singh Khalsa reiterated he has never sold-out to any Government to date and no matter what the circumstances, he will never sell-out in the future either. The challenge at the current time is to help our brothers across Punjab make the decision to adorn the Dastaar and join the Khalsa Panth. Yesterdays Amrit Sanchar resulted in 719 people becoming Amritdhari.
