Mian Mir’s descendants denied ‘siropa’ Amritsar, March 3 Bibi Jagir Kaur, SGPC chief, said the Shiromani Committee was yet to establish whether they were the 'actual descendants of the seer ? She said the SGPC would also try to establish the authenticity of the relics brought by the descendants of Nabi Khan- Ghani Khan from Pakistan. She said before coming to India, Mr Nasin Maqdoom Sayeed Chand Pir Qadri, who claims to be the 19th descendant of the Mian Mir, had not approached the SGPC . Mr Yahood Ahmed Khan, descendant of Ghani Khan, and Nabi Khan, had also not approached the Shiromani Committee. She, however, said only after establishing the veracity of these religious personalities, the SGPC
would give the required honour. On the hukamnama in which the Guru had stated that "Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan were like his sons, Bibi Jagir
Kaur said the Sikh historians would be consulted in this regard. However, the descendant of Sai Mian Mir expressed his anguish that he was not invited on the quadricentenial celebrations of the installation of Guru Granth Sahib . He said it was shocking that the descendants of Sai Mian Mir, who had laid the foundation stone of Golden Temple, were ignored by the SGPC. The delegation claimed that the hand written ‘Hukamnama’ written by Guru Gobind Singh with blood ,was handed over to the family of Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan. The two were responsible for ensuring a safe passage to the Guru by disguising him as ‘Uccha Pir’ at Machhivara when he was surrounded by enemies. Bhai Lal Singh, the 17th generation descendant of Bhai Mardana, a Muslim, and Mr Harpal Singh Bhullar, President, Bhai Mardana Yadgari Kirtan Darbar, also accompanied the delegation. |
