During the discussion, he speaks about the ongoing Akal Takht vs. Bhagwant Mann issue and emphasizes that political disagreements should never involve the religious authority of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. According to him, governments and political parties may have differences with individuals, but the dignity and sanctity of Sikh institutions must always be respected.
S. Sukhdeep Singh also raises questions about Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's statements regarding the Jathedars and says that political leaders should avoid turning religious institutions into political battlegrounds. He argues that direct attacks on the Jathedar or Sri Akal Takht Sahib can deepen divisions within society. At the same time, he also discusses the role of the Akali Dal. He says that many people believe the party has, at different times, used issues related to the Akal Takht for political advantage. However, he adds that if one political party is accused of politicizing religious institutions, that does not justify another party doing the same. His view is that all political leaders should maintain the dignity of Sikh religious institutions regardless of political rivalry.
