The unanimous support from SGPC members stems from Dhami's steadfast commitment to panthic values and the defense of panthic institutions during his tenure.
Meanwhile, Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal took to his X handle (former Twitter) and wrote, "On the re-election of Advocate Harjinder Singh Ji Dhami, the unblemished personality of the Khalsa Panth, the philosophy of the great Gurus, as the chief servant of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the Supreme Religious Parliament of the Khalsa Panth, I congratulate him on all Panth Prast institutions and organizations and the entire Khalsa Panth."
