HANSALI/FATEHGARH SAHIB: Cricketer Yuvraj Singh was unable to meet his religious mentor – Hansaliwale Sant Ajit Singh on Wednesday night as the latter retires to his room at 11pm. Yuvi, who was accompanied by his mother, had to return after paying obeisance at the door of the sant's chambers.
Sources said that Yuvraj had reached the dera of Ram Singh in Fatehgarh Sahib around 8pm on Wednesday. The management of Hansaliwala dera had expected the player earlier. Excited over his visit, the residents of some surrounding villages had also gathered there and had also arranged a "dhol" to welcome the world cup champion. However, when he didn't turn up, they went back disappointed at 12.30am. Yuvi finally reached at 12.45am and requested the management to open the main gate.
"The dera head did not meet Yuvi as he came very late. The sant never waits for anyone, and on Wednesday night we closed the gate as per schedule. Some other inmates of the dera had opened the main gate on Yuvi's request. He and his mother Shabnam paid obeisance in front of dera head's locked room," said sarpanch Surjit Singh.
On being asked about his world cup ticket, he said, "Every cricketer gets a special ticket for every match and I also got it for the world cup final." However, he refused to disclose the name of the person who had used his special ticket. About his connection with the dera, Yuvi said he has great faith in Hansaliwale sant and has been coming to the dera for many years.
