Amritsar-Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) in its meeting of executive committee members passed an order to suspend Sri Damdama Sahib Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh. Later Jathedar Giani Harpreet has alleged that certain Akali leaders are targeting his character to distract from Sri Akal Takht Sahib’s directions regarding the reorganization of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). He stated that he will not participate in any meetings of Sikh Jathedar meant to deviate from the Akal Takht’s directives.
Speaking at a press conference at Takht Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo on Wednesday, Giani Harpreet Singh said he and his family had already vacated the official residence and that he was prepared to step down if the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) decided to remove him.
