Earlier, Giani Harpreet Singh had directed the North American Sikhs to trace the person who completed religious customs in this same sex marriage.
Giani Harpreet Singh’s personal assistant Jaspal Singh informed that the person, who accomplished this unethical marriage, will be summoned to Akal Takht and given tankhah as per Sikh tenets after shifting the holy "Saroop" of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to a nearby gurdwara.
Sarbjeet Singh Neel is known for violating edicts passed by the supreme Sikh temporal authority. He has performed a number of destination weddings by taking Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in planes, without providing proper satkar to Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
Earlier, Sikh24 had published an article expressing concern over the denial of mandatory respect to Sri Guru Granth Sahib by Sarbjeet Singh Neel and his wife.
