Akal Takht jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh attends Raghav-Parineeti engagement, sparks row

The presence of Akal Takht jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh at an AAP MP’s engagement party has caused controversy. After a video of the event went viral, SAD leader Virsa Singh Valtoha accused Singh of allowing the Sikh code of conduct to be breached at the party, where liquor and meat were served. AAP spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang said the party could not be told where the jathedar could go, while Congress state president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring saw “nothing objectionable in it”. The jathedar has not commented.
