He said, “We have discussed ways to improve the party’s graph. The leaders will go to the Akal Takht on July 1 and seek forgiveness. A ‘SAD bachao’ movement will be started from there.

“Intellectuals will be roped in. A new leader will be chosen to head the party. Sukhbir Badal must listen to the people’s verdict.”

He said a 15-21-member committee would be formed.

The meeting lasted for over five hours and a resolution was finalised.
