Baltej Pannu of the Aam Aadmi Party claims a ₹1 lakh payment from the SGPC secretary’s account went to a woman in Bahrain and questions senior Sikh leaders.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Baltej Pannu, the AAP’s media in‑charge in Punjab, said on Tuesday that ₹1 lakh was transferred on July 23, 2026 from an account in the name of the SGPC secretary at Punjab National Bank to a bank account belonging to a Bahrain‑based woman who stayed at an SGPC‑run sarai in Sri Anandpur Sahib.
Pannu criticised the silence of Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) leaders Sukhbir Singh Badal, Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Bikram Singh Majithia, as well as SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami, and called for a full accounting of the woman’s expenses, including accommodation, food, travel and other facilities.
He also questioned the four‑member SGPC inquiry committee’s competence, suggesting a retired judge or senior police officer should lead an independent probe.
