Harnam Singh Khalsa faces backlash from US Sikh groups over political support and community concerns

Harnam Singh Khalsa, leader of Damdami Taksal, faces criticism from US Sikh organizations for allegedly weakening the Sikh community. His support for the BJP in Maharashtra elections and receiving a gold medal in California have raised concerns about his actions. The American Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has questioned Khalsa's honor, claiming he promotes division among Sikhs. Critics, including Shiromani Akali Dal leaders, argue that his political alignments undermine the Sikh struggle. Khalsa's recent visit to the US included receiving a gold medal for community work, but accusations of hidden agendas and betrayal persist. Critics assert that his support for the BJP and RSS has left many followers feeling misled.
