February 17, 2016 | By

Brampton, ON (Press Release): The Free Akal Takht movement is organizing a town hall event in Brampton this Friday evening to discuss solutions to the ongoing Sikh leadership and institutional crisis in Punjab. The movement aims to free the Akal Takht from political interference and reclaim its state of social, economic, political and spiritual sovereignty.

“No matter how strongly you identify as a Sikh, the Akal Takht has a direct impact on your experience of Sikhi” commented educator-activist Harinder Singh. “Yet Sikhs around the world have no influence over the decisions being made.”

Free Akal Takht TownHall event in BramptonAnswering the call of the Sikh nation’s aspirations at the November 2015 Sarbat Khalsa, the Free Akal Takht movement has initiated a global conversation about the future governance of the Akal Takht and how the Sarbat Khalsa must facilitate transparent consensus-based decision-making. They are inviting the community at large to provide feedback and ideas that we can include into their collective thinking shared on the group’s website www.freeakaltakht.org.

The town hall event will take place on Friday, February 19th 2016 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at the Jim Archdekin Recreation Centre, 292 Conestoga Drive, Brampton, ON. The evening will feature a presentation by Santbir Singh and Amrita Kaur on the Free Akal Takht movement and a Q&A with Harinder Singh moderated by Rapinder Kaur.

“We must engage and represent the beautiful diversity of Sikhs worldwide” remarked youth educator Santbir Singh. “We aspire to connect the Sangat of 30 million and let their voices guide the governance of the Akal Takht and the decisions affecting all Sikhs.”
