Force standing by Takht Sahib's principles is voice of the panth: Giani Harpreet Singh
Interacting with Shiromani Akali Dal revival leaders, Giani Harpreet Singh said that alliances made for the sake of elections can never be a substitute for Panthic unity.
Giani Harpreet Singh has said that the faction loyal to the supreme seat of Miri-Piri is the only one truly entitled to lead the Sikh community. He said this while addressing an online gathering of prominent leaders of Shiromani Akali Dal Revival.
He recalled that on December 2, 2024, the five Singh Sahibans had delivered a clear decision to infuse new spirit into Panthic ranks and build a new leadership. He alleged that the old leadership had lost its moral right out of greed for power and had themselves confessed their sins before Takht Sahib.
According to Giani Harpreet Singh, Shiromani Akali Dal was re-established on August 11, 2025 under that very command, and the party still stands by that principle. He said that the significance of orders pronounced from the Takht does not diminish with the passage of time.
He questioned whether it is justified to back down from confessed sins upon seeing a crowd and to term the religious penance imposed as a conspiracy. He said that partnerships formed solely keeping elections in mind cannot be called national unity.
Cautioning party leaders and workers, he said that people coming close for the sake of power will become even bigger opponents of each other after defeat, which is why it is necessary to remain steadfast on Sikh traditions and principles.
According to party office secretary Jagjit Singh Kohli, this important meeting was held through video conferencing. According to media in-charge Tejinder Singh Pannu, it was attended by several leaders including patron Ravinder Singh, secretary general Gurpratap Singh Wadala, Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Gobind Singh Longowal and Sarwan Singh Phillaur.
