Chandigarh: Makers of the controversial movie titled “Nanak Shah Fakir” have again used Akal Takht Sahib’s name maintaining that their movie enjoys support and blessings of the ‘Akal Takhat Sahib’. The recent video released today by makers of the Nanak Shah Fakir movie displays message: “With support and blessings of Sri Akal Takht Sahib”.

It is pertinent to note here that Akal Takhat Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh has already clarified that the movie was never granted any clearance or support by the Akal Takhat Sahib.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar has also clarified that the SGPC had already rejected the Nanak Shah Fakir movie. Avtar Singh Makkar said that as this movie violates basic tenets of the Sikh panth by depicting Guru Nanak Ji and his family members.
