This meeting was earlier scheduled to be held on January 21. Now the meeting of SGPC members of Shiromani Akali Dal will be held on January 22 at 12 noon at the party headquarters in Chandigarh.
As the last date for filing objections with the returning officers is January 23, the party has appealed to all its members and other leaders to file all objections regarding non-Sikh and other fake votes in writing with the respective returning officers in time. After this, the Shiromani Akali Dal leadership will raise the entire matter before the Chief Commissioner of Gurdwara Elections.

Election for the post of chief on March 1
According to the information received from SAD, the membership campaign will be run from February 20 to March 25. The target is to make 25 lakh members. For this, in-charges have been assigned duty for all the constituencies. The election of the new chief will be held on March 1, as this seat has fallen vacant after the resignation of Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Sukhbir Badal was sentenced to religious punishment by Akal Takht a few days ago. There were mainly 3 charges against him. The first charge was of forgiving Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim in the sacrilege case. Apart from this, he was accused of not being able to stop the sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and not taking action against the accused even while being in the government. Sukhbir Badal had resigned from the post of chief even before this punishment.
