Jalandhar, Punjab - The International Human Rights Organisation today appreciated Akhand Kirtani Jatha and local Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadar's management committee for endorsing the stand of the IHRO that Darshan Singh Ragi were uttering blasphemous remarks about the bani of Guru Gobind Singh, while affirming that it would continue censuring such profane and debased persons and taking legal action against them, if necessary .
IHRO chairperson D S Gill and its coordinator for Sikh Affairs (IHRO- SA), Gurcharanjit Singh Lamba, in a statement here, said, "We applaud Jathedar Jagjit Sigh Gaba (0181-2271875) and Ranbir Singh Jaura, President and Secretary respectively of Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadur Committee who dared stop Prof Darshan Singh for using derogatory language against Guru Gobind Singh and his bani and refused him to perform kirtan at the gurdwara on maghi day.
Earlier too, Darshan Singh Ragi approached SGPC to permit him to do keertan at Sach Khand Harimandir Sahib but the permission was refused by Jathedar Avtar Singh Makkar, asserted the IHRO.
Interestingly, the IHRO said, Darshan Singh Ragi, as kirtaniya, had been doing keertan, writing articles and lecturing on Dasam Bani, and now after the ex-communication of Kala Afghana from the Panth by Akal Takhat he seems to be too eager to adopt this new role of Kala Afghan, which is really intriguing.
We also applaud the Akhand Kirtani Jatha that has reportedly warned Prof Darshan Singh of his nefarious and dirty activities and asked him to have a public debate on Dasam Granth and Vaar of Bhai Gurdas with panthic scholars such as Prof Jodh Singh, Giani Sher Singh Ambala, Kanwar Ajit Singh, Dr Anokh Singh Bhatinda in presence of Sikh sangat, added the IHRO activists.
The IHRO has called upon all Sikh institutions, organisations and groups, including Akal Takht, Khalsa Action Committee, Damdami Taksal and SGPC, too to take note of Prof Ragi's illegal, blasphemous activities.
Meanwhile, the IHRO core group, in a meeting, decided to file a criminal case under section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code against him, in case Prof Ragi did not stop his irreligious and blasphemous activities, according to IHRO general secretary Mohinder Singh Grewal and Coordinator (Legal Affairs), Sukhdev Singh Ramgarh Sibian.
