Punjab CM Bhagwant maan questions legitimacy of acting Akal Takht Jathedar Kuldeep Singh gargajj Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday questioned the “fairness” of acting Akal Takht Jathedar Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, alleging that his appointment “did not follow proper maryada (religious code) and was politically influenced”. Addressing a gathering in Dhuri (Sangrur), Mann, in a veiled attack, said he held deep respect for the institution of the Akal Takht, but added, “The one sitting is a political appointee — that is why he takes positions in their favour.” Acting Jathedar Gargaj has summoned Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sondh to personally appear before him within a week and submit an explanation for the performance, which he said was contrary to Sikh principles and tradition. Gargaj, appointed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) in March 2025 after the removal of Giani Raghbir Singh and Giani Sultan Singh, had earlier taken a strong line against the AAP government. He had previously admonished Mann over remarks related to “golak” (donations), cautioning him against “playing with Sikh sentiments”.
