AMRITSAR: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday said that he had submitted his clarification to Akal Takht's acting Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj over his alleged remarks on the Sikh code of conduct and an objectionable video and would abide by the verdict pronounced by the Sikh clergy.

After the nearly hour-long meeting with Giani Gargaj and Takht Damdama Sahib Jathedar Baba Tek Singh Dhanaula here, Mann, in a media interaction, said: "They said they would go through the explanation and take a decision accordingly. I will abide by the verdict pronounced by the Sikh clergy."

CM Mann, who arrived barefoot, appeared before Giani Gargaj at the Akal Takht Secretariat after being summoned.
