Jathedars of different Sikh religious Takhts including acting Jathedar Akal Takht (highest Sikh temporal seat) Amritsar Dhian Singh Mand who were appointed during the Sarbat Khasla last year, today paid obeisance at Akal Takht under heavy security cover.
The moment the acting Jathedar Akal Takht Dhian Singh Mand, Jathedar Takht Kesgarh Sahib Amrik Singh Ajnala, Jathedar Takht Damdama Sahib Baljit Singh Daduwal reached Golden Temple, they were escorted by task force of SGPC, provided special VVIP route to reach sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple to pay obeisance.
Similar treatment were given when they reached Akal Takht to pay obeisance.
Mand when asked about the heavy security told newsmen that the "administration and SGPC were scared of their visit."
Mand said that he was not happy with the security cover inside and outside the Golden Temple, since it created hurdles to pay obeisance besides hurting his sentiments.
However, police said that security was to avert any untoward incident and to maintain law and orders during their visit in the city. Police also clarified that there was no such plan to arrest them.
