Parshotam Singh
Phaguwala led the activists who stated in a written appeal to jathedar Giani
Harpreet Singh that Dhindsa, who is heading the management of the gurdwara, was
responsible for the non-compliance with an edict that the highest Sikh temporal
seat had issued in 2009.
This edict
directed the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to get the design
of this controversial structure modified. However, its management never made
mandatory alteration except for closing the ‘Har ki Paudi’.
Seeking intervention of Akal Takht, the activists also alleged that Dhindsa was controlling the whole property attached with this gurdwara and using it for his political ends. They said the prevalence of the structure hurts Sikh sentiments, so Dhindsa should be removed from all his positions and the gurdwara should be handed over to the SGPC.
