Former SGPC chief Bibi Jagir Kaur on Saturday announced the formation of Shiromani Akali Panth Board to liberate the “panthik institutions from monopoly of one family”.

“In 1920s, the SGPC got freed the gurdwaras from the control of the Mahants. Now the time has come to make the SGPC free from the excessive political interference,” Kaur said, without naming Shiromani Akali Dal or its chief Sukhbir Badal’s family.

Kaur said the Board will play a leading role in restoring the ancient glory of Sikh religious bodies by contesting the SGPC elections and focus on making SGPC an autonomous body.

Kaur was expelled from SAD last year after she announced to contest the elections to the post of SGPC chief.
