Amritsar, August 9

Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh today said an attempt was being made by the government to overpower the management of the SGPC.

The jathedar said on the lines of Takht Hazur Sahib, the government, through its agencies, intended to put the SGPC under a ‘board’ to get its control. Tactics were being adopted to take control of Takht Patna Sahib too, he said. Referring to another issue pertaining to some non-Sikh members wearing ‘kirpan’ in Kurukshetra, the jathedar sought the intervention of the Haryana Government. — TNS
