'Dera Sacha Sauda' & SGPC

Isn't it weird that people in India clash over trivial matters. Take the case of "Dera Sacha Sauda" sect in Punjab state of India where devotees of "Dera Sacha Sauda" had clashed with Sikh organizations at Bathinda following Dera Chief trying to pose like "Guru Gobind Singh"(10th Guru of Sikhs) to baptize his followers. The Sikh organizations in Punjab state of India opposed it, leading to clashes. The supporters of both sides used swords and sharp edged weapons against each other.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Avatar Singh Makkar also  condemned the followers of Sant Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh for allegedly attacking on Sikh devotees at Bathinda.

The clashes between the followers of "Dera Sacha Sauda" of Sirsa and Sikh organization, that began earlier from Bathinda spread to other parts of the Punjab state even as violent mobs burnt one car and damaged over dozen vehicles including an ambulance in Bathinda.

Having violent clashes in the state, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has also appealed to people to maintain peace and harmony. When shall people be rational in India & stop having violent clashes over trivial matters.

Baba Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh of "Dera Sacha Sauda", however, in a statement denied that he had tried to copy Sikh Gurus in any way. He said that his aim is to bring peace and brotherhood in the world. The Sikhs are objecting to Dera chief Baba Gurmit Ram Rahim portraying himself in the attire of 10th Sikh Guru Gobind Singh and inserting advertisements in newspapers saying that he will give nectar to his disciples.
