Legitimacy of SGPC and Sarbat Khalsa


Legitimacy of SGPC and Sarbat Khalsa

"Jathedars can not be selected by Sarbat Khalsa but can be selected by elected body SGPC" Said Makkar. It is a self defeating statement as current SGPC working body is nominated not elected as per Supreme Court orders . Who elected Mr Makkar as SGPC president ? Since the SGPC election was nullified by Supreme Court and working committee was nominated not elected. Elected SGPC members did not even take a oath of membership. So Mr Makkar does not know his legal standing or is he suffering from dementia ? On the other hand Sarbat Khalsa is the most democratic Panthic institution which by definition mean a people gathering of different Panthic organizations and Panth itself , so Jathedars selected by Sarbat Khalsa are approved by people in the gathering of hundreds of thousands people . So Mr Makkar your statement does not have legal standing and you are talking about technicalities of selection of Jathedars by 'elected SGPC' ! which is no more elected and on the other hand Jathedars approved by Sarbat Khalsa is a democratic Panthic institution.
