Sikh hardline groups hail SGPC U-turn on Badal's attacker
Wednesday, 1 January 2025 SGPC's decision to reverse the excommunication of Narain Singh Chaura due to backlash from hardline Sikh groups signifies the prioritization of community support. The December 9 resolution threatened SAD's electoral prospects, prompting the sudden reversal. This move highlights internal conflict within SAD and SGPC's vulnerability to external pressures, causing embarrassment for the institution.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is under fire after celebrating Vaisakhi at a Sikh temple in Ottawa while remaining silent on Palm Sunday, which fell on the same day. Wearing a yellow turban and serving at the langar, Carney’s gesture was praised by the Sikh community—but sparked backlash online from Christian groups and conservative commentators.
Social media influencer Oli London accused the PM of “pandering” to Sikhs while ignoring Christian holidays like Palm Sunday and Passover. Critics are asking: Is this inclusive multiculturalism or selective symbolism? Meanwhile, defenders argue that events like Vaisakhi are about unity and should not be politicized.
