Chandigarh: Disgruntled Akali leaders members and former members of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) from a faction opposing the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) submitted a memorandum to Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh at the Secretariat of Sri Akal Takht.<\/p>\n
The letter accuses SAD leadership of misconduct and urges action against party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and others.<\/p>\n
The signatories include SGPC members Jaswant Singh Purain, Rampal Singh Behniwal, Bibi Kiranjot Kaur, Paramjit Singh Raipur, Jathedar Hardev Singh, Teja Singh, former member Harbans Singh Manjhpur, and others.<\/p>\n
Although the group did not meet the Jathedar in person, the letter was handed over to the Secretariat.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, the SGPC members alleged that Sukhbir Singh Badal admitted to certain allegations before the Akal Takht on December 2 but later denied any wrongdoing publicly. They termed his actions as a “lame joke” and called for accountability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The letter also highlighted three main issues:<\/p>\n
1. Ignoring the recommendations of a seven-member committee formed by the Akal Takht on recruitments and violating its directives.<\/p>\n
2. Disrespecting the withdrawal of the “Fakhr-e-Qaum” title from Parkash Singh Badal by lobbying for its reconsideration.<\/p>\n
3. Misleading the Sikh community regarding past admissions of guilt.<\/p>\n
The group urged the Akal Takht to take strict action against Sukhbir Singh Badal and other involved leaders for what they described as serious violations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
