Daduwal Launches Movement for Panth-Approved Jathedars
Imagine the Sikhs have religious leaders called Jathedars, like the main teachers.
One leader, Jathedar Baljit Singh Daduwal, wants to change how these leaders are chosen.
He's starting a movement to make sure everyone agrees on who becomes a Jathedar.
He wants to involve all the Sikh groups, not just a few.
This way, the Jathedars will be chosen fairly and without any political party controlling them.
They hope this will keep the Sikh community united and prevent any embarrassing disagreements.
Jathedar Baljit Singh Daduwal launched a movement for Panth-approved jathedar appointments.
The movement aims to raise awareness among Sikhs for a collective appointment system.
Daduwal criticized recent actions undermining Sikh clergy unity.
The initiative seeks consensus-based appointments, free of political influence.
