There Will Never Be Unity with Deserters/Fugitives of Sri Akal Takht Sahib" – Giani Harpreet Singh

We will strongly oppose anyone who aligns with these deserters.

Reru Sahib Sahnewal (November 10), Kanwar  Partap Singh 

"I am deeply indebted to all of you for showing your faith under the leadership of Sri Akal Takht Sahib by gathering here today. This is because Akali Dal was revived solely in accordance with the directive issued from Sri Akal Takht Sahib on December 2, 2024."
Giani Harpreet Singh made these remarks while addressing a meeting of leaders and workers of the Akali Dal (Punar Surjit).
He stated that although a few withered leaves have fallen from this tree, the Sangat (congregation) across India and abroad has fully contributed to keeping its roots green. "In contrast to us, some withered individuals also claim to be a tree, but fresh shoots can never bloom from them," he said.
Giani Harpreet Singh mentioned that he took up the party presidency at the behest of two individuals:
S. Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, who said that leaders could not take up the presidency due to mutual disputes and that the party would scatter, so he must lead.
S. Ravi Inder Singh, who assured him that they would not let his household fires go cold and urged him to work for the Akali Dal.
He added, "In my first speech at Burj Akali Phoola Singh, I stated that I had no political experience and asked them to be my strength (supporting arms). However, those who gave the strongest assurances were the first to leave and step aside. But I am not among those who run away; I will firmly face every hardship."
Referring to those who left the party, he said these were the very individuals who had approached Sri Akal Takht Sahib with a letter and sought recommendations even from abroad, urging the Singh Sahibans to excommunicate Sukhbir Singh Badal from the Panth (Sikh community).
Speaking on Prem Singh Chandumajra, he remarked that this name is already notorious in Sikh history for betrayal. He stated that both Chandumajra and Daljit Singh Cheema lied before Sri Akal Takht Sahib. "Sukhbir Badal did speak the truth there, and had he stood by his truth, he might have succeeded. However, he backtracked after going to Muktsar Sahib, which is a grave sin."
Similarly, referring to Bibi Jagir Kaur’s statement after losing the previous SGPC election—where she claimed that members' consciences had died—Giani Harpreet Singh questioned, “Where is your conscience now?”

“ਕੂੜਿਆਰ ਕੂੜਿਆਰੀ ਜਾਇ ਰਲੈ, ਸਚਿਆਰ ਸਿੱਖ ਬੈਠੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਸਿ॥”

(The false associate with the false, while truthful Sikhs sit near the True Guru.)

He stated that the world would witness the ultimate fate of those who lied and backtracked before Sri Akal Takht Sahib.

Giani Harpreet Singh clarified, "We have never spoken of a political alliance with the BJP; we have always put forward demands concerning the issues of the Panth and Punjab. However, it was leaders like Chandumajra who went to negotiate an alliance with them and even spoke of unity with Sukhbir. But we will not compromise under any circumstances with those who are deserters of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. If the BJP aligns with them, we will consider them anti-Sikh and oppose them fiercely."
He added that on the day of the SGPC General House meeting, their SGPC members, led by former President S. Gobind Singh Longowal, will hold a protest in front of the Lok Sabha in Delhi demanding SGPC elections to end control by Dhirmalliyas (factions acting against core Sikh tenets).

The stage proceedings were conducted smoothly by Stage Secretary Jagjit Singh Kohli.

Speaking on the occasion, Party Patron S. Ravi Inder Singh commended the Panj Singh Sahibans and all party leaders for standing firm on the December 2 edicts. He stated that after Master Tara Singh, the Akali Dal has emerged in its true form following the December 2 directives, adding that strengthening this party will strengthen both the Panth and Punjab.
Party Senior Vice President and head of the five-member recruitment committee, S. Santa Singh Umaidpur, praised Giani Harpreet Singh as a scholarly leader who aims to unite all Panthic organizations. He extended a warm welcome and expressed gratitude to all leaders, workers, and organizers in attendance.
During the meeting, senior leaders—including Party General Secretary Gurpartap Singh Wadala, Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Dr. Rattan Singh Ajnala, Sarwan Singh Phillaur, Bhai Manjit Singh, Bibi Paramjit Kaur Gulshan, Gaganjeet Singh Barnala, Judge Nirmal Singh, Gobind Singh Longowal, Ajaypal Singh Mirkot, Karnail Singh Peermohammad, Gurjeet Singh Talwandi, and Harbans Singh Kandhola—reaffirmed their commitment to Sri Akal Takht Sahib. They collectively declared that the entire leadership stands like a rock with the party and Giani Harpreet Singh.
