The Akal Takht today rejected the apology of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Raheem Singh for wearing an attire similar to that of Sikhs Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
Amritsar, June 27 : The Akal Takht today rejected the apology of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Raheem Singh for wearing an attire similar to that of Sikhs' Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
The Akal Takht said that the apology sent via Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee president Paramjit Singh Sarna is a press note and not an apology letter.
Earlier in the day, the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) has also rejected the apology letter sent by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on the ground that the letter reflected no seriousness.
The Dera chief had issued a fresh apology letter to the SGPC and other Sikh organisations apparently to end the stand-off with Sikhs.
The move came on a day when a court had issued a conditional arrest warrant against the Dera Chief for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the Sikh community.
However, some Sikh leaders have raised objections to the letter as it was not signed by the Dera chief. They demanded that the sect should resend a signed apology letter.
Sikh organisations across the State have been mounting pressure on the Government to arrest the Dera chief.
Clashes between Sikhs and the activists of the sect erupted on May 14, a day after an advertisement appeared in local newspapers, showing Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh dressed up in clothes similar to those worn by Guru Gobind Singh.
A case was registered against the Dera chief on May 20.
