Dhami's resignation came 3 days after Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh had condemned SGPC for dismissal of Giani Harpreet Singh as jathedar of Damdama Sahib
The new party is being launched by jailed MP Amritpal Singh’s father Tarsem Singh. Analysts, however, say radical politics hasn’t always resonated with state's voters.
SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami termed security personnel checking area around Sri Guru Granth Sahib an affront; he also asked Haryana CM to take moral responsibility & apologise.
Governor Banwarilal Purohit's letter was in response to one sent by the CM asking the governor to give his assent to a bill regarding the telecast of Gurbani from Golden Temple.
Video shows young woman, accompanied by a man, trying to enter the Golden Temple with the Tricolour painted on her face, and SPGC staffer Sarabdeep Singh stopping her.
Akali Dal and SGPC have adopted a strident tone on Sikh issues and seem to be warming up to radicals. Experts see it as attempt regain lost religious and political ground.
While welcoming govt's move to honour four Sahibzadas, SGPC maintains that 26 Dec must be observed as 'Sahibzade Shahadat Diwas' since 10th Sikh guru's sons are hailed as warriors.
On 24 August 1949, Jaipal Singh Munda, the driving force behind the Jharkhand movement, argued for political representation and self-governance for the tribal community in the Constituent Assembly.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
