Panthic organisations held a meeting at the SGPC office here on Saturday to decide whether to withdraw its mercy petition in the case of former CM Beant Singh assassin Balwant Singh Rajoana from the President’s office. The move comes three days before the expiry of the ultimatum given by Rajoana to the SGPC to withdraw its petition.

He added that further action would be taken as per the decision of the executive. Sources in the SGPC said most of the representatives were not in favour of the withdrawal of the mercy petition.
