SAD leaders meet Harjinder Singh Dhami, urge him to withdraw resignation from SGPC top post

Senior Akali leaders, led by Diljit Singh Cheema, arrived at the residence of Harjinder Singh Dhami in Hoshiarpur today to persuade him to withdraw his resignation as the president of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).

Cheema, while speaking to reporters after the meeting that lasted for more than an hour, said that the sudden resignation given by Dhami was “unfortunate”. He said that he and the entire Akali Dal leadership held a meeting with Dhami to discuss the matter. The meeting was held in a very comfortable environment, he said, adding that there were many objections in the heart of Harjinder Singh Dhami, which they all listened to very carefully.

He said in the coming days, all these objections would be mentioned in the meeting of Akali Dal and Harjinder Singh Dhami would again be requested to withdraw his resignation. He said that Dhami was an eminent personality and his services were needed by the party and Panth in the days to come, so he appealed to him to reconsider his decision of resignation.
