I salute you Harbhajan Singh

Hey Mausam,
Have you followed the news of Harbhajan Singh, who was pulled up by SGPC, the apex religious body of the sikhs, for appearing in an advertisement with his hair open and untied?
Harbhajan Singh promptly apologised and asked the SGPC that it was inappropriate on their part to raise the issue in the media. Meanwhile the SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar commented that Harbhajan should learn from english spinner Monty Panesar who despite being brought up abroad, promotes sikhism. To this Harbhajan commented that he should be compared not with Monty Panesar but with Yuvraj Singh and Gurdas Mann!
I am so glad that Harbhajan said so. Religion is a personal thing and these religious fanatics should not spread their version of faith on others just for their own selfish means. With the impending elections in punjab, the politicians who control SGPC( read Badal) thought it is time to focus on such religious matters to garner political mileage. When will these people change. Not to long ago I read this about SGPC clerics fighting with swords inside the Golden Temple and not too long ago SGPC suddenly realised that Vande Mataram was against their sentiments! Amarinder Singh is busy filling his coffers after Badal looted the state.
Who'z next in line in the coming elections? Not too long ago Punjab was the most prosperous state. Had it not been for these rascals we would have prospered even more. We need our a Chandrababu Naidu to bring accountability in every sphere. Badals and Amarinders, God is watching.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
