Bhai Bhupinder Singh Khasi Kalan, who was travelling with him in a Land Cruiser, was shot dead.ДhadrianwaleвЂ™s cavalcade was on its way to Isewal village when it was attacked. Sikh preacher Baba Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale was attacked by unidentified persons late in the evening near Barewal village. While Dhadrianwale said the Gurbani should be tested against the touchstone of Gurbani, Dhuma holds that some preachers negate the spiritual aspect and their interpretation of Gurbani and history is just mechanical.Police at the spot where the cavalcade of Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale was attacked in Ludhiana on Tuesday. In the subsequent months personal verbal attacks between the two got acrimonious and things took a bloody turn. The conversation revealed that while there were issues with the interpretation of the Gurbani and narration of Sikh history, the Bargari sacrilege and firing at Behbal Kalan in October 2016 became a major turning point when Sikh preachers led by Dhadrianwale took centrestage and the Taksal had to face criticism for siding with the SAD even as the Sikh seminary strongly flayed police firing. He has not said a word on the misuse of the Chhabeel for the murderous attack,вЂќ he said. Had he been neutral, he would have let the functions be organised and if I were wrong, complaints would have been brought to him. вЂњThe Akal Takht Jathedar only asks us to cancel our programmes. If they are neutral, at least they should condemn the threats. вЂњSGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal and DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK reacted when the chief minister warned the Taksal against issuing death threats.

Dhadrianwale accused the clergy, SGPC and DSGMC of a partisan approach. I am available for talks to resolve the issues so that controversies donвЂ™t weaken the community,вЂќ Dhuma said. All sides should avoid acrimonious language and comments. The SGPC, DSGMC and a few respected personalities should hold discussions to resolve the issues. I think the contentious issues should be resolved in the larger interest of the Panth.

Both parties agree on the fact that no efforts have been made to broker peace, with the Sikh clergy and SGPC not taking any steps to resolve the issues. Dhuma also expressed willingness to talk if SGPC, DSGMC or some other вЂњrespectableвЂќ personalities of the community were to take initiative in the larger interests of the Panth. Dhadrianwale called for an end to вЂњdharmik gundagardiвЂќ and said the issue would be resolved instantly if the Taksal and its supporters would stop issuing threats. An attempt was made on DhadrianwaleвЂ™s life on May 17, 2016, in which his fellow preacher Bhupinder Singh was killed.

Interacting with both sides, TOI found that they were ready to resolve issues, but there were no attempts to mediate in the last two years. JALANDHAR: In the backdrop of bad blood between Damdami Taksal chief Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma and Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale, Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh had to warn the Taksal against death threats issued by the Taksal spokesperson.
