A call has been made for the resignation of the Akal Takht Sahib's Jathhedar and the chief of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
Sikh community members in Punjab have demanded the resignation of the Akal Takht Sahib's Jathhedar and the chief of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). The Akal Takht, located in Amritsar, is the highest seat of authority in Sikhism and the SGPC oversees the management of gurdwaras across the country. The demand reflects growing concerns over the leadership’s decisions and their impact on the Sikh community. No official statement has yet been released by the Akal Takht or SGPC in response to the calls for resignation. The situation remains under close observation by religious leaders and followers alike.
