What did the Nihangs say when the Mahants were beaten and driven away?
- Asking for money from devotees by threatening them: Nihang Singh Paramjit Singh Akali said that we were continuously receiving complaints from devotees for a long time through Facebook and other mediums. The devotees alleged that some people were begging in and around Darbar Sahib, posing as Mahants, and were extorting money from the devotees by threatening them.
- If someone did not give money, he would put his hand in his pocket and threaten to curse: Nihang Paramjeet Singh said that this was not only causing trouble to the devotees, but the atmosphere of the holy place was also getting spoiled. Posing as a Mahant, he is forcibly demanding money from the devotees. These people even tried to take money from the pockets of devotees. If any devotee refused to give money, he was threatened with a curse. This action was taken by taking these complaints seriously.
- The environment around the Golden Temple was deteriorating: Nihang Paramjit Akali said- Golden Temple is the biggest center of faith not only for Punjab but for the Sangat coming from all over the country and abroad, where thousands of devotees come every day to pay obeisance. Due to such incidents the environment around Heritage Street and Golden Temple was deteriorating. An atmosphere of insecurity and discomfort was being created among the devotees, which was affecting the dignity and order of the religious place.
- This is not the real Mahant, he will not spare those who do wrong: Nihang Paramjit Singh Akali said in clear words that such people cannot be real Mahants under any circumstances. The real Mahant always earns from his work and lives his life according to Guru dignity. Those who do wrong in the name of religion will not be spared under any circumstances.
The Nihangs searched for the Mahants and chased them away with batons.
Police said- When was the video taken, they are checking. Regarding this, SHO Harman of Amritsar Police Station A Division said that the police has come to know about the video. We are investigating when this video is from. After that a decision will be taken regarding further action.
