AMRITSAR: A day after the Akal Takht jathedar asked cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu to tender an apology for donning a shawl adorned with Sikh religious symbols "Ek Omkar" and "Khanda", the Congress MLA expressed his regret over the incident on Twitter, saying that he had inadvertently worn the shawl.
Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday tweeted: "Shri Akal Takht Sahib is Supreme, if I have unknowingly hurt the sentiments of even One Sikh, I apologize!! Millions wear the revered Symbols of Sikhism on their Turbans, Clothes and even carve Tattoos with Pride, I too as a humble Sikh wore the Shawl unintentionally".
