Akal Takht Jathedar Gurbachan Singh, on Giani Gurbachan Singh, on Friday, denied the bias charge leveled against him by Dal Khalsa and former Takht jathedar Prof Darshan Singh He was acting under political pressure while deciding panthic issues, the two had said.
The Jathedar, who was talking to reporters at Kamalpur village, said: "The Akal Takht has never worked under pressure, and it never will." The charges, he said, were merely the two leaders' reaction to being cornered for wrongdoings.
To the accusation by Prof Darshan Singh that the decision of Sikh clergy to summon him to the Takht on December 5 for derogatory remarks on Guru Gobind Singh was politically motivated, the Takht Jathedar said hundreds of complaints were received against Prof Darshan Singh, in writing, via e-mail and on phone.
On the former jathedar's reported statement that he would appear only at the Takht and not before any individual or a closed door meeting, Giani Gurbachan Singh said that they were ready to follow the practice adopted by Prof Darshan Singh in this regard during his tenure as Takht chief.
Earlier, Giani Gurbachan Singh, Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib Jathedar Giani Tarlochan Singh, Takht Damdama Sahib Jathedar Balwant Singh Nandgarh and other Sikh religious leaders laid the foundation stone for the 56th Akal Academy to be set up by Kalgidhar Trust, Barru Sahib (HP), at Kamalpur village.
The Jathedar lauded the Trust's efforts in providing high standard religious and moral education to students.
The academy would be a milestone, he said.
