This is considered to be a counter-offensive to the move of the Parkash Singh Badal group which is approaching SGPC members to sign a written appeal to the Akal Takht Jathedar seeking to review the "hukamnama" on the Akali Dal feud.

It is learnt that majority of the SGPC members have signed the appeal.Meanwhile, the SGPC has written to the Press Council of India complaining against the paper. It alleged that the paper had been unleashing a vilification campaign against the SGPC and the Akal Takht, the supreme religious-cum temporal seat of the Sikhs.
