In a significant turn of events, rebel Shiromani Akali Dal leaders appeared before the Jathedar of the Akal Takht on Monday, offering an apology for past mistakes committed during their party's time in power.

The leaders presented an apology letter to Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh at the Akal Takht Secretariat, located within the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The Akal Takht serves as the supreme temporal seat for Sikhs.

The letter detailed four specific mistakes made during the Shiromani Akali Dal's regime from 2007 to 2017, including the failure to punish those involved in the 2015 sacrilege incidents and the controversial pardoning of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in a 2007 blasphemy case.
