Six days after Giani Harpreet Singh, Jathedar, Takht Damdama Sahib, resigned as acting Jathedar of Akal Takht, he said here today that he had resigned on his own though he indirectly admitted that he had pressure.
‘Make Valtoha Jathedar’
Giani Harpreet Singh said if senior SAD leader Virsa Singh Valtoha had the courage, then the SGPC should make him Jathedar. Valtoha had said it was not necessary for a Jathedar to be a granthi or katha vachak, he should be courageous.
However, he did not specify about the pressure that led him to resign from the post. He was here to participate in a programme in which Giani Raghbir Singh took over as Akal Takht Jathedar.
