Bathinda: Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann yesterday said that Sikhs don’t worship deities, hence Sikhs won’t raise slogans like “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.
Talking to media after meeting after two party activists in the Bathinda central jail, Simranjeet Singh Mann prefaced his argument with, “according to the BJP, one who doesn’t say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ is not a patriot and can be tried for sedition…”
“Sikhs should say ‘Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh’,” said SAD Amritsar (Mann) chief.
He also said that the BJP must know that Sikhs “can’t say” ‘Vande Matram’ either.
