Badal sits on chair in presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji while his paid Granthis perform Sri Akhand Paath
Sri Akal Takht Sahib - Parkash Badal, Sukhbir Badal, along with his BJP companions, organized an Akhand Paath in room 10 behind Sri Akal Takht Sahib, at Sri Darbar Sahib complex, on behalf of Nirajan Daas, the Ravidasi leader who was injured at the Vienna Ravidas Sabha Mandir in Austria last weekend. Badal also told the press that he spoke with the injured Niranjan Daas, and expressed his condolences for the Vienna events.
The Akhand Paath was initiated with an Ardas by Giani Dharam Singh, and started by Sri Dabar Sahib Head Granthi, Giani Jaswinder Singh. Various members of the RSS linked BJP were present at the Akhand Paath, including the controversial Navjot Sidhu. The senior Badal, himself, sat above the sangat at the same level of the Manji Sahib of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, which itself is a serious violation of the Sikh Rahit Maryada.

Meanwhile, details are emerging that allege controversial comments made against Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji could have triggered the events in Vienna. Both Nand and Daas have allegedly made comments in other European countries questioning the need for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji at Ravidas Mandirs, but this could not be confirmed by Khalsa Press.
The quick decision by Badal & Co. to hold and Akhand Paath for an individual who has allegedly criticized Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not surprising. Since the 1970’s Parkash Badal has had close relationships with the psuedo-Nirankaris, and the Naamdharis when they were also openly questioning the validity of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
The so called sant disrespects our Guru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji but an akhand patth is held for him while there has been so many sacrifices made by Sikh warriors and nothing is held for them, these are the leaders of the panth.
