Sri Akal Takht Sahib is, was and will forever be supreme for me & my family: CM Bhagwant Mann

Punjab: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday said that he will appear before the Sri Akal Takht Sahib as a humble and devout Sikh instead of being a Chief Minister.

What did CM Mann say?

In a post on X, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that Sri Akal Takht Sahib is sacred for every Sikh and is considered as the highest temporal seat of the community.

“Any command or order from Sri Akal Takht Sahib Ji is acceptable with full reverence and will be obeyed. I will walk barefoot before Sri Akal Takht Sahib as a humble Sikh and not as a Chief Minister,” he said.

What is supreme for CM Mann?

However, the Chief Minister said that though the President of the country will be visiting Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, to participate in a conference, he will surely appear before Sri Akal Takht Sahib. He unequivocally said that for him, Sri Akal Takht Sahib Ji, is above everything and order received from it will be obeyed in true letter and spirit.

“The command received from that sacred Takht is, was, and will always be supreme to him and his family,” he affirmed.
