Paramjit Singh Mand pasted the copy of the memorandum addressed to Jathedar Akal Takhat outside the secretariat main gate
<p style=”text-align: justify;”><strong>Full Text of the Memorandum:</strong></p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Sukhbir Singh Badal, who was serving as Chobdar under the religious punishment imposed by Akal Takht Sahib, was fatally attacked on Dec 4.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Narayan Singh was detained on the spot on the charge of attacking Sukhbir.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Narayan Singh has been playing a pro-active role since the days of Dharam Yudh Morcha in 1982. He is a known face in every section of the panth and Punjab . He has a warrior mindset. He is a true and committed Khalistani and for the fulfillment of the cause, he has faced police torture many times and has served long periods in jails. He can’t be allured nor he can be forced to bend.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>It is a fact that he heads the organisation named ‘Akal Federation’, however, his closeness and cordial relationship with Dal Khalsa ways back to 80’s of last century.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>We do not know nor can we say anything with certainty that why he took an extreme step like attacking Sukhbir that too within the Darbar Sahib precinct ? Only Narayan Singh himself can clarify on this matter.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>The police have arrested him and started legal proceedings against him under relevant sections. The law will take its own course. We have no regrets about it.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Our objection and resentment is against the Akali activist who has deliberately insulted a GurSikh by removing his turban.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>We appeal to Akal Takht Sahib to take appropriate and immediate action against the youth Akali activist according to Sikh principles. This incident of dishonouring of turban has hurt the sentiments of thousands of Sikhs, and we are articulating those hurt sentiments by writing to you.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>There are clear video clips of wearing the turban on social media. The name of the Akali activist is Jaspreet Singh Rana, who is the president of Pathankot district of Youth Akali Dal.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>You can also check on your own about the identity of this person and the misdeeds he committed.</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Our appeal is that as a Jathedar Akal Takht, if you feel the need, instead of asking for a judicial investigation related to attack on Sukhbir, Akal Takhat could conduct an investigation on its own!</p>
<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Why did an educated 70-year-old finally feel the need to take someone’s life and subsequently risk his own life? Is it that the religious punishment handed over by the Akal Takht to guilty Akalis including Sukhbir has failed to calm the hurt feelings of Narayan Singh? The Sikhs want to know the answers to these questions. We’re sure you too want to know the real reason behind the attack.</p>
