Bhagwant Maan ਜੀ Sri Akal Takhat Sahib ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੀ ਅਦਾਲਤ ਹੈ ਇੱਥੇ ਚੁਟਕਲੇ ਨੀ ਚੱਲਣੇ | Surkhab TV #akalidal #akaltakhtsahib #bhagwantmann #aamaadmiparty #punjabpolitics The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikh community, officially summoned Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to appear before its Secretariat on January 15, 2026 Reason for Summons: The officiating Jathedar, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, issued the summons over allegations that Mann made "anti-Sikh" and derogatory remarks regarding the Sikh code of conduct (Sikh Rehat Maryada) and the principle of Dasvandh (the religious duty of donating 10% of earnings). A recently surfaced video involving objectionable activity related to images of Sikh Gurus and Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was also cited. Mann's Response: Mann has accepted the directive, stating he will appear not as Chief Minister, but as a "humble and devout Sikh". He has pledged to walk barefoot before the Takht to show reverence for its supreme authority. Live Telecast Request: On January 8, Mann requested that his appearance and clarification be telecast live so the global Sikh community (Sangat) can witness his explanation and evidence firsthand. However, reports on January 9 indicate the Akal Takht has rejected this request, citing a lack of precedent for live-streaming proceedings inside the Secretariat. Political Context: The summons comes amid an ongoing dispute between the AAP government and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) over the registration of an FIR regarding 328 missing saroops (sacred copies) of the Guru Granth Sahib.
