Chandigarh: Balwant Singh Nandgarh, who was unceremoniously removed as Jathedar of Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, accused the Punjab government of harassing his family. He said he was ready to pay any price for his stand on the Nanakshahi calendar and the entity of the Sikh Panth. Nandgarh’s wife and 13 others have been booked in a cheating case on court orders on a complaint filed by Amarjeet Kaur, who is a widow. Among others booked is patwari Jaspal Singh, nephew of Nandgarh’s wife Sukhdev Kaur. “The case, that was pending in court since 2013, was highlighted in the media within days of my ouster. This proves that there is something fishy,” claimed Nandgarh. He said it was an attempt to malign his image because of the overwhelming response he had received from the Sikh Sangat on the Nanakshahi calendar issue.
