CHANDIGARH: Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday welcomed the Akal Takht edict calling for the cancellation of the Sunday and Monday parallel Sikh congregations called in Amritsar and Karnal.
In a statement issued here, Capt Amarinder said the Akal Takht had acted at the right moment while considering the urges and aspirations of the Sikhs across Punjab and Haryana. He said it was a historic directive by the Akal Takht, which led to the easing of the situation that was building up across the two states and had the potential of putting the Sikhs against the Sikhs.
Former Chief Minister hoped that wisdom may also have finally dawned upon those, who he claimed were ‘aimlessly and needlessly opposing Haryana SGPC, which was the genuine right of the Sikhs living there, for their personal reasons.’
