		Interestingly, for all this, the complainant to Akal Takht jathedar Vedanti was Baba Harnam Singh Dumma of the Damdami Taksal, which earlier had been headed by Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
		Part of the drama (understanding) was over on July 18 when Mann Sahib and others had appeared before Akal Takht jathedar (protégé of Badal) and that is why Mann got away with mild tankhah of depositing Rs 100 for Karah Parshad and organising an Akhand Path at Fatehgarh Sahib, Gurdwara, on expected lines.
		It is tedious, nay, a deadly affair for all the concerned parties and the players to implement it smoothly and peacefully, for, both the warring factions of the Akali Dal seem committed to a show of strength by collecting there their supporters and workers in numbers.
