New Edict Issued by Acting Jathedar: Implications for Sikhs and Emerging Akali Dal Factions
Update: 2025-08-07
Description
Uncertainty is growing at both international and regional levels — and this confusion and disarray is clearly reflected in Sikh electoral politics and the management of Sikh institutions.
In light of recent developments — particularly the 6 August 2025 edict issued by SGPC-appointed acting Jathedar Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, which indirectly advises the breakaway faction of the Badal Dal against using the name of Akal Takht Sahib to legitimize their organizational shift — journalist Mandeep Singh sits down with Sikh Siyasat editor Parmjeet Singh Gazi for an in-depth discussion.
Together, they explore the current state of Sikh politics and institutions, why recent developments are unlikely to resolve the core issues, and what steps are necessary for a lasting and meaningful solution.
