Controversy surrounds Sikh leader Harnam Singh Dhumma as U.S. organizations raise concerns

The controversy surrounding Harnam Singh Dhumma, leader of the Damdami Taksal Sikh seminary, continues as U.S. Sikh organizations accuse him of undermining the community. Critics claim he sends agents to gurdwaras to incite conflict among Sikhs. Dhumma's controversial actions have drawn criticism for justifying his position by aligning with government interests. Despite tarnishing his reputation, he maintains his status as a legitimate leader within the community. In related news, the Damdami Taksal's support for the BJP in Maharashtra has complicated its relationship with the Shiromani Akali Dal, leading to criticism of Taksal's leadership and its influence over Sikh institutions.
