Chandigarh: Jathedar Baba Harjit Singh, the descendant of Nihang Baba Fakir Singh Khalsa, who had barged into the disputed structure in Ayodhya, has received permission to organise Langar there during the Prana Pratishtha (consecration) of Bhagwan Shri Ram on January 22 in the long family tradition of devotion to the Hindu deity.
Speaking to press, Baba Harjit Singh said, “We are part of Sanatan. This is our Dharma. We have worked to keep it alive.” He requested Hindus and Sikhs to celebrate the consecration of the Ram Mandir for Ram Lalla together on 22nd January 2024.
Baba Harjit Singh said he wanted to carry forward his ancestor’s devotion towards Bhagwan Ram by holding the langar along with other Nihangs, a distinct sect among the Sikhs identified by their loose, dark blue apparel and their plumed turbans. “Now, when the Prana Pratishtha (consecration) of Lord Rama is being done on January 22, 2024, how can I lag behind?” he asked while addressing the media in Chandigarh.
