Amritsar: A delegation led by Shiromani Akali Dal working president Balwinder Singh Bhundar met Jathedar Singh Sahib of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Raghbir Singh at his residence. The delegation informed the Jathedar about the loss to the party by declaring Sukhbir Singh Badal as a salaried person. After a long meeting with Jathedar Singh Sahib Giani Raghbir Singh, party spokesperson and senior leader Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that he has requested the Jathedar to consider whether Sukhbir Singh Badal should be seen among the people. .

There should be relaxation in elections, sir. Bharatiya Janata Party and RSS are already trying their best to weaken Shiromani Akali Dal and Sikh Panth. Bharatiya Janata Party has taken control of Takht Sri Harimander Ji Patna Sahib, Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee by using the government machinery. Now the Central and Punjab governments are trying to break the Shiromani Committee members in the general meeting to be held on October 28. By contacting the members of the government machinery, the MLAs are also threatening them and insisting on voting in favor of Bibi Jagir Kaur. On this occasion, core committee members like Maheshinder Singh Grewal, Gulzar Singh Ranike, Iqbal Singh Jhunda etc. were present.
