Amritsar: Two days after the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) said that it rejected the special investigation team (SIT) probing the 2015 sacrilege and police firing incidents in Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan, claiming that it was biased, the SGPC appointed acting Jathedar of Akal Takht Sahib has said he will think about acting on the SIT’s report, when it comes out.

To a query on whether former Akal Takht jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh and Takht Damdama Sahib acting jathedar Giani Gurmukh Singh would be summoned for their role in granting pseudo pardon to Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, Akal Takht acting jathedar, Giani Harpreet Singh, said, “We will think about it, once the report comes out.” Giani Iqbal Singh, sacked as Takht Patna Sahib jathedar a few days ago, had made this demand.

“The SIT is probing these cases. Until or unless its report does not come out, we cannot take any action,” the acting jathedar reportedly.
