Nanded, June 1: The Panch Piare (the five high priests) of Takht Sachkhand Gurudwara today declared gurudwara board president Sarder Sher Singh Fouji as `tankhaiya’ from the community for three days following his remarks over their decision against donating land to Nanded medical college.

A few days back the gurudwara board had taken a decision to donate a piece of land to the college. However, the panch piare put their foot down against the decision.

Board president Fouji had issued a statement to the local press that priests should not interfere in the board’s decision.

Later, Faouji told reporters said it was his duty to obey the orders of the priests and would undergo the punishment from tomorrow.
