SGPC president polls : SAD names Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami as party candidate
SGPC President Elections: Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal announced after extensive discussions with Shiromani Committee members and senior leaders of the party that Harjinder Singh Dhami will be their candidate for the post of President for the annual elections of Shiromani Committee to be held on November 9.
Two days ago, former SGPC President and senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bibi Jagir Kaur was suspended from the party over anti-party activities.
The disciplinary committee of the party made the decision in this regard. During a press conference, senior Akali Dal leader Sikander Singh Maluka announced the development.
Reportedly, SAD leaders Dr Daljit Singh Cheema and Surjit Singh Rakhra urged the former SGPC president to "follow the party line" and wait for the party's decision on her candidacy for SGPC president. However, Bibi made it clear that she would run in the election and had already informed party president Sukhbir Singh Badal of her decision.
However, two days after her suspension Shiromani Akali Dal has cleared the air and nominated Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami as party candidate for SGPC president polls.
