Did the joker consult the Hindu, Muslim, Parsis, Budhists, Tribal heads any other person who heads a cult. Why did he not get it published in all newspapers and get public's yes or no vote through PMO's website?
See the comment of SAD...what an awkward statement is this from a political party. I don't think any of our sikh brothers say such things. Prime Minister of India is not bound to discuss the issue to any caste, religion, etc. He is responsible to the whole country.
The parties who operates merely on religion to divide the people should be banned. our father of nation had suggested that all political parties should be based on religion as far as religion is considered as morality. (refer Gandhian philosophy of politics). But in our present situation no politican parties are concerned of morality. they are concerned of religion as a sect of community for vote bank. Shame on you..politicians....how shrinked are you...such people cannot be voted to power as they cannot govern our India which is very diverse in nature.
We shoiild object basically heading of the article itself. Is our pm is mearly sikh or he is first citizen of india. was he selected as pm beceause of his sikh identity or his contribution on making india open for global economy, or close to ganghi family or loyal to them. Whatever will be the reason for pm's selection, but it is not on certianly on his cast or releigion. It is redicuous to say that he is sikh therefore he should discuss sikh representing committee. Is our PM representing on behalf of entire nation or merely his community. I feel we should stop thinking on cast and relegionwise politics otherwise on day like ussr disintrigration of nation is not too far.Secondly can govt open any confodential reports or documents to any other third party who has nothing to do in politics.SAD may be a religius institute, but cannot interfere in govt functiones, and more importantly cannot demand anything from pm just beceause he is sikh.Tommorow any muslim will ask such thing from Mr. kalam just beceause he is mumsil. Now we should think above the cast/ relegion line.

It's simple man SAD ?uks... case should be registered against people like Simarnjit Singh Mann, leader of MNS (I forgot the name also) , Shiv Sena , Thakrey family, Narendra Modi anyone who gives hatered speech... all should be put behind Bars.... they are also criminals just like Dawood...
Whatever Mann said was as the leader of Shrimani Akali Dal(SAD) and not as a representative of the Sikh community. When he says that the PM didn't consult 'us' its pretty clear that he means that he is saying that the PM didn't consult SAD . But rediff has delibrately chosen to malign the Sikhs . This was also done earlier by the media in the 80s and early 90s. If one goes by the history then the Sikhs are in for a bleak future in India and all thanks to the media !!
