AMRITSAR: Acting Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib and Jathedar of Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj said it has been only a few days since he assumed the service and during these days, the national festival blessed by the tenth Guru was Hola Mohalla. Therefore, as a Sewadar of Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, he was busy in Hola Mohalla, due to which he could not look into the decisions taken by Sri Akal Takht Sahib on December 2 or the ongoing issue regarding the recruitment of Shiromani Akali Dal due to lack of time. Nor could any discussion be held in this regard with the committee formed by the previous Singh Sahibs.
In a written press statement issued by the Office Secretariat Sri Akal Takht Sahib that he said that during his address at Sri Anandpur Sahib, he had also given the call for Panthic unity, because this is the need of the hour and this is also the spirit of the entire Khalsa Panth.
He said that while giving a positive response regarding Panthic unity, the Shiromani Akali Dal's working president Balwinder Singh Bhunder has taken the initiative regarding the points raised in the press conference yesterday, especially the central point of the decisions taken by the Singh Sahibs on December 2, which was mutual unity. This is an auspicious sign. Singh Sahib said that he hopes that the entire Akali leadership will be more serious about this and will also make efforts.
He said that under this, after the invitation letters sent to the five members of the committee today, the committee reached the secretariat of Sri Akal Takht Sahib and met them and discussed the way forward regarding Panthic unity in the light of the decisions taken on December 2.
Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj said that he believes that in the face of the challenges faced by the Sikh Panth, it is necessary that we unite to protect our institutions and confront the challenges. This unity should be among all Panthic parties. He said that all the committee members have responded positively for Panthic unity.
Singh Sahib said that in the coming time, all the parties will be taken together to make the Panthic unity and atmosphere comfortable.
