SAD leaders 'conspiring' to remove me: Giani Harpreet

Hours after Akal Takht jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh deferred the meeting of Sikh clergy scheduled for January 28, Takht Damdama Sahib jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh on Sunday launched a fresh attack on the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders and alleged that the meeting was postponed under pressure and will be held once his services are terminated.

AMRITSAR:

Claiming that efforts to remove him from his post have been put on a fast track, Giani Harpreet Singh, without naming Virsa Singh Valtoha, who was expelled from the SAD for 10 years, and SGPC senior vice-president Raghujit Singh Virk, known loyalist of Badal family, said: "I have learnt that meeting of the Panj Singh Sahiban (Sikh clergy) has been postponed. The 3-member committee constituted by the SGPC to probe charges against me led by a messenger of Badal and patronised by an Akal Takht-expelled SAD leader has intensified its actions to remove me from my post."
