Dera row: SGPC gives 3 more weeks to probe panel

FATEHGARH SAHIB: The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has given three more weeks to a three-member committee to probe violation of the Akal Takht's 'hukamnama', by politicians who had sought the Dera Sacha Sauda's support during the Assembly Elections. SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar said the probe panel had been told to submit its final report by March 7, to Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh. He rubbished allegations that the matter had been put on the back burner with an eye on the upcoming Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee elections, adding that the deadline had been extended to enable various leaders to give their explanation before the panel.
