Amritsar, Jul 26 (PTI) Former Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh on Saturday extended a special honour to officiating Akal Takht jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj by inviting him to his residence here and giving him ‘Siropao’ (robe of honours) as a mark of deep respect.
Giani Raghbir Singh, who was removed from the post of the Akal Takht Jathedar in March, is currently the head priest at the Golden Temple.
On the occasion, ‘Granthi’ of Harmandar Sahib and former Officiating Jathedar of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, Giani Sultan Singh, also honoured Gargaj with a ‘Siropao’.

He emphasised that this tradition of mutual respect, cooperation, and coordination must continue.
He assured Gargaj of his full support at every level so that all ‘Panthic’ affairs may continue to be conducted in the spirit of unity and collective Sikh consciousness.
During the meeting, the three held detailed discussions on various ‘Panthic’ and religious matters.
