Anandpur Sahib, May 6, 2014: Punjab Revenue Minister and Senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia today performed Sewa (volunteer service) at Takhat Sri Keshgarh Sahib as a humble Sikh. He dusted the shoes, washed the utensils and listened to the Gurbani Kirtan inside the vast campus of the Takht. He is undergoing the `Tankhah’ (religious atonement) following Akal Takht’s verdict after he was indicted by the five Takhat Jathedars for distorting the religious hymns of Guru Gobind Singh, `Deh Shiva bar Mohe…..’’.
Following the distortion, Majithia who said he was devoted to the Sikh philosophy from the core of the his heart as a devout Sikhs, he immediately expressed regret over the issue. He said while delivering a public speech he inadvertently mentioned the name of BJP senior leader and SAD-BJP candidate for Amritsar Lok Sabha Arun Jaitley in the Shabad. He later appeared before the Jathedars and tendered the apology which was accepted and the Sikh clergy asked him to undergo the religious atonement for the purification.
Majithia said he would be following the dictates of the Takht whom he considered the supreme and thus was performing the Sewa. Majithia who belongs to a devout Majithia clan who had been serving the Sikhs throughout would similarly undertake the Sewa at four other Takhats including the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs Akal Takht.
