Rebel Shiromani Akali Dal Leaders Apologize for Past Regime Mistakes

Rebel Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders appeared before the jathedar of the Akal Takht to apologize for mistakes made during their time in power. They handed an apology letter to the jathedar, expressing regret for incidents including the 2015 sacrilege events. The leaders held Sukhbir Singh Badal responsible.

Rebel leaders of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) came forward on Monday to seek forgiveness for their 'mistakes' committed during their party's rule at the state level. They presented an apology letter to Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh in Amritsar, addressing various transgressions including their inability to hold accountable those responsible for the 2015 sacrilege incidents.

The letter also condemned the pardon granted to Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in the 2007 blasphemy case. Rebel members, including former MP Prem Singh Chandumajra and ex-SGPC chief Bibi Jagir Kaur, pointed fingers at Sukhbir Singh Badal for not prosecuting the perpetrators and criticized his leadership.

These leaders also expressed their readiness to accept any punishment from the Akal Takht, in line with Sikh tenets. They emphasized the deteriorating trust within the Sikh panth and Punjab's populace towards SAD due to these failings.
