SGPC executive member Panjoli told the audience that he is the only Sikh on which the title of ‘National Professor of Sikhism’ was bestowed by Akal Takht Sahib honouring his profound scholarship of Sikh religio-political thought and his clear espousal of the Sikh cause.
Gurtej Singh described him as an encyclopedia of world knowledge, who had mastered ancient scripts and modern scientific scholarship and methodology. He was not only a writer but a fighter too, who fought for the Sikh cause at all forums available to him, said he.
