Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Waring has written to the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Raghbir Singh and explained the objectionable comments.

In the letter, he wrote, 'Sahib Sri Akal Takht Sahib and the Jathedar Sahib there are very respectful to me. As a humble Sikh, I have always followed all the rules of Sri Akal Takht Sahib and will continue to follow them throughout my life. I cannot even think of making any objectionable remarks about the place you occupy.

I am a Sikh living in Sikh tradition and the comments I made in the past were related to another political party. However, if I have inadvertently hurt the dignity and ambition of this great institution, then I am the judge of Khim. I am bowing my head in front of Sri Akal Takht Sahib and asking for forgiveness from Jathedar Sahib.'
