[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 118394, member: 189"] He is NOT "claiming" innocence..He is INNOCENT.Period. Here is the REAL PICTURE of those who found him "guilty".....from the Times of India.... 1. Iqbal Singh declared Prof Darshan Singh Mahan Dokhi..great guilty/anti-Panth..enemy of the Panth..and EXCOMMUNICATED him... 2. When the other Four Jathedars in Punjab refused to go laong..Iqbal Singh then DECLARED Joginder Vedanti, and the others GUILTY as well..and Mahan Dokhis... 3. When Iqbal Singh wasnt INVITED..he took the initiative to come UNINVITED to Akal Takhat...a Lowly SGPC Guard PHYSICALLY PUSHED HIM OFF the STEPS of Akal Takhat and blocked his way...He then went away...declaring his Takhat was more SUPREME than Akal takhat any day..blah blah blah... 4. ALL the ABOVE edicts by Iqbal singh have NOT been Rescinded/withdrawn...so how could eh then SIT along with those Mahan Dokhis to listen against a person he already declared Mahan Dokhi long ago.... ALL a PARODY..or Comedy of Errors..but no one is laughing....How can anyone respect such ....self contradictory types.... [B][FONT=Bookman Old Style]Is Sikh clergy following maryada?
