Amritsar, March 4

The management board of Takht Patna Sahib may take a significant decision pertaining to controversial Takht Jathedar Giani Iqbal Singh in its meeting scheduled for March 5.

Giani Iqbal Singh had withdrawn his resignation hours after submitting it to the general secretary of the board, MS Dhillon, and continued to perform his duty as Jathedar of the Takht.

While the seven-member committee, constituted by Akal Takht to probe allegations levelled against Giani Iqbal Singh has submitted its report, it was being viewed that this could be the base to initiate any move by the board.

It has been learnt that the three members of the committee had gone to Patna to record Giani Iqbal Singh’s statement over the charges against him, yet the latter refused to comment while asserting that he had already quit the position.
