Darbar Sahib and SGPC Take Legal Action Against AAP MLA Over Caste Bias Allegations
The management of Darbar Sahib and SGPC member Avtar Singh Ria have taken legal steps against AAP MLA Manwinder Singh Giaspura over his allegations of caste-based discrimination and remarks about the Akal Takht Jathedar. Both parties assert that the MLA's claims are baseless, harm Sikh institutions' reputations, and contradict Sikh principles of equality. The SGPC has demanded a public apology, warning of a defamation suit if not complied with, while the Darbar Sahib management seeks an impartial police inquiry into the matter.
