SYP activists held a meet today in which they decided to hold a seminar to recall and reaffirm the contribution of Sirdar Kapur Singh, who in unambiguous terms, without fear or favour forthrightly laid out the true religio-political philosophy of Sikhism. The seminar would be held at Gurudwara Shaheedganj (B-block), Amritsar.
Groups’ head Noblejit Singh, Gen Secy Manjit Singh and vice-president Paramjit Singh said Kapur Singh was the architect of Anandpur Sahib Resolution that was made basis of the Dharam Yudh Morcha. “He was revered as think-tank of the Sikh polity during 70’s and 80’s’. He was very close to Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale and was behind the creation of Dal Khalsa in 1978, said they.
They said apart from Kapur Singh’s panthic contribution and his political thought, the speakers would also dwell upon the present day scenario and burning issues confronting Panth and Punjab. They said episodes of 1984 especially the complicity of British government and suspected role of few Akali leaders in the operation Blue Star would also come up for deliberation.
They said heads of Damdami Taksal, Dal Khalsa, Akali Dal Panch Pardani, SGPC member Karnail Singh Panjoli and Sikh thinker Gurtej Singh beside SYP leader Prabhjot Singh would address the seminar.
