In a joint statement issued by members of the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee, Jatha: Surinder Singh Bhulewal Rathan, Bhai Manjit Singh, Jatha: Mithu Singh Kahneke, Jatha: Satwinder Singh Tohra, Jatha: Malkit Singh Changal, expressed that the investigation report on the basis of which action was taken against Giani Harpreet Singh should be rejected.
Along with this, SGPC members raised a collective demand and said that now the report of the investigation committee has been submitted by the internal committee.
"According to the sentiments of the Sangat, this investigation report should also be investigated to see how one-sided, fact-free, and based on a lie the action was taken, while a leader who was banned for ten years from a representative group like the Shiromani Akali Dal had this report prepared with his own authority, for which this report was prepared simply to draw a line," the SGPC members stated in a joint statement.
The SGPC members collectively said that on the basis of this false report, the sovereignty, supremacy and concept of the thrones were openly challenged and the jurisdiction of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Ji was openly challenged. Due to which the greatness of the thrones all over the world has been hurt. Therefore, the members strongly appealed that, when Singh Sahib Giani Raghubir Singh Ji himself rejected this investigation committee and did not consider any investigation necessary, then despite this, with what stubbornness this investigation committee continued to work. The time has come for Singh Sahib Giani Raghubir Singh Ji to stand by his statements.
SGPC members said that after acknowledging the anti-Sikh crimes committed by Sukhbir Singh Badal during his tenure, Giani Harpreet Singh was targeted in return for the religious service he received, which is another big crime in addition to the previous crimes.
On this occasion, SGPC members demanded the resignation of Shiromani Committee President Harjinder Singh Dhami, saying that Dhami Sahib accepted the subordination of that faction against the spirit of the nation and the Panth.
In the statement issued, the members said that it is the moral duty and responsibility of the SGPC President to firmly confront such anti-Pant conspiracies when they are being hatched, but Dhami Sahib played an important role in the completion of these conspiracies.
In the statement issued, the SGPC members expressed full hope that Singh Sahib Giani Raghubir Singh will show the Panth a different path, reject this one-sided report, take appropriate steps to restore the services of Giani Harpreet Singh Ji and also investigate the false investigative report so that the conspiracy hatched against the Khalsa Panth can be exposed before the Sangat.
