SGPC must justify removal of three Jathedars ; MP Vikram Sahney

The sudden dismissal of all three Singh Sahib Jathedars of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, and Takht Sri Damdama Sahib demands reasons thereof. SGPC must justify the action as the Sikh Sangat, both in India and globally, is rightfully seeking answers said Dr. Vikram Sahney Rajya Sabha MP & international president of World Punjabi Organization

Dr. Sahney added that Sri Akal Takht Sahib must lead by establishing a transparent and rigorous process for the selection and dismissal of Jathedars, given the paramount authority of this position in Sikhism.

Dr. Sahney said that SGPC, the “Mini Parliament of Sikhs,” must engage with Sikh organizations, Singh Sabhas, Sikh Saints, and Gurdwaras worldwide to preserve the dignity and integrity of Sri Akal Takht and all Takhts.

Dr. Sahney stated that the appointment and removal of Jathedars should adhere to strict protocols, mirroring the sacred processes of the Vatican, ensuring the respect and sanctity of these positions as guardians of faith—universal and deeply personal.
