Amritsar, Punjab: So called preacher Ragi Darshan Singh is guilty of using derogatory words for character assassination of Sahib Guru Gobind Singh ji who is giver of amrit and sacrificed his entire family so that Sikhs could live. He has used such words as Guru Sahib going to a prostitute—-, prostitute shouting thief, thief—- Guru Ji fleeing leaving shoes behind—- etc. This is very insulting language for Guru Sahib and those who have love for guru sahib can’t even hear such words.

The direct fallout of the changes in the hitherto widely accepted calendar will be that from March 14 onwards, the dates of important days will hardly remain fixed as was the case in the widely accepted Nanakshahi calendar, based on the solar system and calculations.

Though the opposition had a limited success in preventing unanimity in elections, it could not come anywhere near displacing any of the Badal Dal loyalists from any of the positions in the executive committee of the SGPC that is elected every November.
