Former Deputy Speaker Bir Devinder Singh was first to bring this matter to notice of Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh. Akhand Path bhog was held on Monday morning. “SGPC has not only deliberately violated the sanctity of the edict of the Akal Takhat with impunity but also extended every possible VVIP treatment to him. He was even allowed to hold the holy Chawar Sahib (the fly whisk) during the time the ardaas was performed by one of the granthi (the priest) of the gurdwara. He was even bestowed a Siropa after the completion of the Akhand Path,” said Bir Davinder.
