Bathinda: Radha Soami Dera head Baba Gurinder Singh Dhillon met Takht Damdama Sahib Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh at his Bathinda residence on Thursday (26 December).

This meeting comes shortly after Dera Beas chief had a private discussion with Shiromani Akali Dal Badal president Sukhbir Singh Badal and his wife, MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal, at their residence near Delhi.

Details of both meetings remain undisclosed, but it is widely speculated that the ongoing crisis within the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal faction), which has also involved Takht Jathedars, may have been a key topic of conversation.
