Jalandhar(IP Singh)The proceedings at the Akal Takht secretariat on Monday evoked memories of Dec 2, 2024, when ‘tankhah’ (religious punishment) was pronounced on Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal. …….Acting Akal Takht jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj conducted the hearing with confidence and control, reinforcing both the authority of the takht and his own position, despite the controversy surrounding his appointment in March.
The contrast with June 6 last year, when Damdami Taksal chief Baba Harnam Singh Dhuma did not allow him to address the Operation Blue Star anniversary gathering, was striking…………..
Congress legislators appeared closest to the Akal Takht’s position during Monday’s proceedings……
Meanwhile, the SAD largely remained on the sidelines during the proceedings.
