Disrespect of Gurbani
Bikram Majithia, during campaigning in April 2014 for Arun Jaitley, BJP candidate from Amritsar at Shaheed Udham Singh Hall changed the wording of ‘Deh Siva’ shabad and by adding Arun Jaitley’s name to it.
Majithia encouraged the crowd to chant: Deh siva bar mohe eh-hey subh karman te kabhu na taro. Na daro arr seo jab jaye laro nischey kar Arun Jaitley ki jeet karo.
Baba Ram Rai (eldest son of Guru Har Rai) was excommunicated from the Sikh community for doing the same thing.
