Chandigarh: Claiming that the November 10 congregation will be held as per schedule, “acting jathedar” of Takht Damdama Sahib Bhai Baljit Singh Daduwal on Thursday (Oct. 20) said Bhai Satnam Singh Khandewala and other “Panj Singhs” who were expelled by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) last year, would be invited for the event.
Bhai Baljit Singh Daduwal said this at a meeting with other “acting jathedars” Bhai Dhian Singh Mand, Bhai Amrik Singh Ajnala and representatives of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), United Akali Dal, Akali Dal (Independent) and Akali Dal (1920) at the residence of SAD(A) chief Simranjit Singh Mann.
“The Sarbat Khalsa will be held as per schedule come what may. We will meet the Panj Singhs and urge them to participate,” said Daduwal.
Notably, a 150 members co-ordination committee was announced after this meeting (read details) but the announcement was later withdrawn saying that the list was mistakenly released to the press (read more).
