In August 2020, the Akal Takht directed the Sikh community to boycott Dhadrian Wale till he seeks clemency for his alleged objectionable remarks against 'Sikh principles', the Jathedar of Akal Takht and distortion of Sikh history. Singh then decided not to hold gatherings to avoid any serious problem to sangat. In March 2020 a group of protestors warned Dhadriawnale to face unpleasant response if he addresses any congregation in Punjab. Dhadrianwale preaches that these principles should be as per the judgement of an individual. In February 2020, activists from Sikh groups including Damdami Taksal disrupted his sermons alleging Dhadrianwale of distortion of Sikh history and opposition of core Sikh principles like Naam Japna (meditation with recitation of God's name) waking up at amrit vela (early morning) and belief in heaven and hell. The chief minister of Punjab intervened and asked them to stop giving such threats. Dhadrianwale continued to receive life threats from various groups. His aide Bhai Bhupinder Singh Khasi Kalan was shot dead, but Ranjit Singh survived. On the evening of, while Ranjit Singh was travelling to attend a Diwan (congregation) in Ludhiana, more than two dozen armed men attacked him. The basis of this was ideological disagreement. In 2016, a conflict started with Baba Harnam Singh of Damdami Taksal. There has been some ongoing controversy among some Sikh scholars and Sikh groups over this. In recent years, he shifted to a different perspective of understanding the ideas in Guru Granth Sahib. Nature is bound by laws, and if we follow them, the desired results are bound to come. He strongly criticizes exploitation of the environment, "We must take care of nature as it takes care of us" The law of nature is one thing he strongly believes in. He emphasizes that the whole universe is the embodiment of God ( Ik Onkar) itself including the humans. According to him, the faith in God is not limited to any deity, personality or holy place. He also opposes ritualistic animal slaughter practices that are prevalent in some sects. He refuses to believe in heaven or hell and claims that all our Karmas are paid-for at mental, emotional and spiritual levels in this life. He teaches people to live a practical and truthful life. People must be honest, hardworking and should follow their responsibilities with passion. He urges common Sikh people to read and understand the Gurbani themselves. “Most probably it is case of personal rivalry, but we are probing all angles,” he said.Gurudwara Parmeshar Dwar Sahib Philosophy ĭhadrianwale urges people to practice the teachings of Sikh Gurus in daily life, instead of just performing rituals. He added that ‘till now nothing has come out which hints towards role of militants’. FIR for murder, attempt to murder and under sections of the Arms Act is being registered at the PAU police station,” said Aulakh. Dhadrianwale has also claimed that he was the prime target of this attack and not Bhupinder Singh, who has been killed. He has claimed that close to 30-40 miscreants opened fire on them and 15-20 rounds were fired. Aulakh confirmed that Dhadrianwale was safe and would be kept under their security till the danger was averted. “I was the target, not Bhupinder,” Dhadrianwale, who was recording his statement at PAU police station till the filing of this report, told police. Doctors have confirmed the death of Bhupinder Singh, one of the preachers who was accompanying him,” added Aulakh. We have started the investigation and all CCTV cameras in vicinity are being scanned.
