A statement in the article doesn't follow from the reference given
The article states "However in recent years, the Sikh orthodoxy has started claiming that anyone wearing a kalgi is imitating Guru Gobind Singh". That statement may be true but the reference given to a Times of India article (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1218096983.cms) does not necessarily support it.
The Times of India article states about the offender "he had started wearing kalgi (plume) and riding a horse, claiming himself to be an incarnation of guru gobind singh".
Perhaps his claim to be an incarnation of the guru might give offence, but there does not appear to be a direct implication that riding a horse, or wearing a kalgi, mean that he is imitating Gobind Singh.
There are many pictures of important Sikhs wearing a kalgi (or riding a horse). For example Maharaja Ranjit Singh or Queen Victoria's favourite Maharaja Duleep Singh.
