At the the meeting, that lasted for about an hour, it was decided that a five-member committee of Sikh intellectuals would be formed.

In the meeting, Badal Dal and SGPC were represented by SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar and senior Badal Dal leaders Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, Balwinder Singh Bhunder, Prem Singh Chandumajra and Dr Daljit Cheema. From the side of HSGMC Joga Singh, general secretary, Harpal Singh Palli, vice president and senior leader Bhupinder Singh Asandh took part in the meeting.

HSGMC leaders insisted that a headway could only be achieved after SGPC asks its taskforce to vacate Haryana gurdwaras.

The Tribune has quoted unnamed sources saying: … both sides felt that the situation was alarming and there was need to defuse tension immediately. [Badal Dal] leader Cheema said both sides have agreed to form a committee of Sikh intellectuals.

While talking to Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) over phone, the HSGMC leaders said that it must be clearly understood that there was no going back on the issue of separate gurdwara committee for Haryana.

Meanwhile, the HSGMC has has called a gathering of Sikhs at Kurukshetra on August 6.
