AMRITSAR: Asking jathedar of Akal Takht to hold a Sarbat Khalsa (grand assembly of Sikhs) was a heartfelt desire of a Sikh but it was only the prerogative of jathedar to give a call of Sarbat Khalsa after discussions with all the Sikh bodies, said general secretary of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) Gurcharan Singh Garewal on Thursday.
"It was an expression from the heart of a Sikh which Amritpal communicated and any other Sikh can express the same too, Sarbat Khasla is a very big event and if required, it is the prerogative of jathedar of Akal Takht only to announce a Sarbat Khalsa that too after the consultation with all the Sikh organizations including sampardaya’s Nihang Singh bodes etc. said Garewal.
