he Dera Sacha Sauda row is not resolved yet.
The five Sikh head priests had on Thursday rejected the apology tendered by Dehra Sacha Sauda chief Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh.
The Akal Takht dismissed the apology as "a shrewd tactic to divert attention".
In conflict with the Dera chief for his alleged imitation of Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, the five Sikh high priests, at a meeting in Amritsar, said the social boycott of Dera followers announced by them would continue.
A resolution adopted at the meeting said the apology given by the Dera chief to Guru Gobind Singh on Sunday night was "not graceful in language and spirit".
The priests said the apology was "no more than a shrewd tactic of the Dera chief to divert attention from the fact that he himself is not forthcoming with the apology but is instead trying to hide behind nameless followers".
