JALANDHAR: Former chairperson of Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee Bibi Jagir Kaur on Saturday announced the launch of a new organization Shiromani Akali Panth Board, saying the organization will revive its old glory and make it independent and eliminate political interference in its functioning. SGPC will contest for.
He made the announcement at an annual religious function organized in the memory of the saint. Prem singh Murale Wale in Begowal. She said she challenged the “envelope” culture during the election of the SGPC president last year and would continue to push for reforms in the representative Sikh Body. In his speech, he attacked political interference in the functioning of SGPC. “The Shiromani Akali Panth Board will involve itself only in Gurdwara matters,” he said.
“The Shiromani Akali Dal was established to help the SGPC, but over the years, the latter was reduced to just a wing of the Akali Dal. In the last 25 years, there has been a serious decline in the functioning of the SGPC and too much interference by the political leadership of the Akali Dal leaders in the functioning of the SGPC has brought shame to the community.
On the occasion, he reiterated the SGPC’s agenda, which he had floated last year while contesting the SGPC president’s election, including setting up of SGPC’s own channel to broadcast Gurbani and working closely with Sikh intellectuals.
