This should not have happened. We should look at it with restraint. Pradhan Dhami’s resignation is saddening. In his resignation, he has written, I accept the post that was put up by me on moral grounds and I resign.
If he is moral then it is also moral that he should take back his resignation from the post of SGPC chief. He should take up the duty which was assigned to him by Sri Akal Takht Sahib on 2 December. There was a lot of pressure due to the events that happened in the past few days. It is possible that he too is under pressure.
