SGPC executive committee rejects Harjinder Dhami’s resignation

The SGPC executive committee here on Monday rejected the resignation by Harjinder Singh Dhami from the post of president.

Also, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has softened its stand against the rebels, asking them to get united. A day before the Akal Takht-monitored panel is scheduled to start the membership drive from the Takht premises, SAD working president Balwinder Singh Bhunder offered SAD membership forms to them.

Addressing a press conference here, Bhunder asked the rebels to sink the differences, saying unity among all Akali factions was a must.

In a meeting of the SGPC executive committee held here on Monday under senior vice president Raghujit Singh Virk, it was unanimously decided to reject Dhami’s resignation and appeal to him to immediately resume his duties.

Virk said all executive committee members would visit Dhami’s house in Hoshiarpur later in the day and request him to resume work as SGPC chief.
