All previously sanctioned leaves stand cancelled and the heads have been asked not to sanction any fresh leave till April 14.<\/p>\n<p>The separatist&#8217;s appeal for the congregation came in two video messages that surfaced last month. He also asked the jathedars (chiefs of Akal Takht) to take out a religious procession from the Akal Takht in Amritsar to Damdama Sahib in Bathinda ahead of the gathering on Baisakhi.<\/p>\n<p>Only the Akal Takht chief can decide whether to call such a congregation after consulting with Sikh scholars and intellectuals, top gurdwara body Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) said following Amritpal&#8217;s request.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is the personal wish of Amritpal Singh. It is the sole prerogative of the Akal Takht jathedar to call or not call a &#8216;Sarbat Khalsa&#8217;. The jathedar would see what needs to be done under the prevailing circumstances,&#8221; SGPC general secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal told news agency PTI.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Sarbat Khalsa&#8217; congregations were called only on two other occasions &#8211; in 2015 and 1986. The last one was held on February 16, 1986.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/punjab-police-cancels-leave-of-cops-until-april-14-after-separatist-amritpal-singh-calls-for-sarbat-khalsa-meeting-of-sikhs-sources-3927962\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Amritpal Singh has asked Akal Takht to convene the &#8220;Sarbat Khalsa&#8221; gathering.
