The meeting of the members of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee is going to be held at Teja Singh Samundri Hall of Golden Temple in Amritsar today. Today, the ongoing speculations regarding the removal of Jathedar of Shri Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Harpreet Singh, may come to an end. According to the information received, a split is visible in the Akali Dal itself over the decision to remove the Jathedar.

After the arrival of Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh at the engagement of Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha and actress Parineeti Chopra, the process of removing them from the post started. Senior leaders of the Akali Dal informed that the decision to remove Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh from the Jathedari of Shri Akal Takht Sahib and Shri Kesgarh Sahib led to a split in the Akali Dal itself.

Former CM Parkash Singh Badal’s old associate and face with Sukhbir Badal have turned to each other on this issue.

When the matter of removing him from the post reached Giani Harpreet Singh, his rebellious tone also came to the fore. After which Sukhbir Badal has also started to fear that Giani Harpreet Singh may instigate a rebellion against the Akali Dal with the help of senior leaders.

Missing Prakash Singh Badal
Amidst this atmosphere, Sukhbir Badal once again missed his father late Parkash Singh Badal. Two senior Akali leaders from Malve explained to Sukhbir Badal that the atmosphere has changed after Bade Badal’s departure. Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh has the support of senior Akali leaders. If the opposition starts in the Akali Dal, then only they will be at a loss. After which Sukhbir Badal has postponed the decision for the time being.

Most of the leaders have done it, haven’t they?
SGPC Principal Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami met several Akali leaders before this meeting. During this, there was a discussion only about Giani Harpreet Singh. It is heard that most of the Akali leaders have completely rejected the decision to remove Giani Harpreet Singh. On the other hand, in the situation that is being created, no one is even ready to take the responsibility of both the thrones.
