IF this Darbare Khalsa is UNDER the Akal Tkahat...then its OK....IF it aims to be an INDEPENDENT BODY..then its just another attempt to DIVIDE the SIKHS and will likely fail..as have many others . We MUST not forget that this same SANT SAMAJ have published and printed their own separate SANT SAMAJ REHAT MARYADA..which is at VARIANCE with the Established Akal Takhat approved Sikh rehat maryada of the Guru Khalsa Panth.
