CHANDIGARH: In a statement issued here today, Jathedar Gurpartap Singh Wadala said that in compliance with the order issued by Sri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar Raghbir Singh and Panj Singh Saheban in the past few days, the decision to wind up the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sudhar movement) was taken on the same day. To formally implement this decision, a meeting of the entire leadership has been called at Sri Amritsar Sahib at 11 am on December 9. In which members of the Presidium, Executive and Advisory Board will be present.

Jathedar Wadala said that there was a need to bring reforms in the party due to the irregularities in the functioning of the Shiromani Akali Dal and the wrong decisions taken by the party leadership without consulting senior leaders. With this motive, we had launched the Shiromani Akali Dal Reform Movement.

The respect of Sri Akal Takht Sahib has increased further with the decisions of the Jathedar Sahibs. The Sangat all over the world has expressed satisfaction with the process by which the Singh Sahibs took decisions while following the etiquette.

The Singh Sahibs had instructed the Shiromani Akali Dal to accept the resignations of the leaders who had resigned, including Sukhbir Singh Badal, and inform the Akal Takht Sahib within 3 days. The Sikh Panth was very surprised and is feeling angry that even after the passage of time, the decision on the resignations has not been taken by the Shiromani Akali Dal. Every Gursikh should follow the orders of Sri Akal Takht Sahib without any hesitation, but the Shiromani Akali Dal leadership's attempt to postpone the resignations by making excuses is tantamount to violating the orders of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.

Jathedar Wadala emphasized that the executive president Balwinder Singh Bhunder and those leaders who are creating obstacles in following the orders of the Singh Sahibs, today they are standing in the dock of the entire Sikh Panth. If despite all this, the leadership of the Shiromani Akali Dal has not learned a lesson and is challenging the orders of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, then they have no right to call themselves Panthic. Due to these deeds, the mentality of the Sikhs is being greatly damaged.

The committee formed by the Akal Takht Sahib to recruit the members of Shiromani Akali Dal is being recognized and praised by the Sikh Panth and Punjabis. Reactions are coming from various organizations, institutions and sections that there is a great hope among the Sangat regarding this committee that this committee will be able to make a big contribution to revive the Shiromani Akali Dal from scratch. The people of Punjab are waiting for this committee to start its recruitment work. All Punjabis are eagerly waiting to join this recruitment.

All Punjabis want to see the oldest regional party of the country, which has been representing the feelings of the Khalsa Panth and Punjabis, on the heights. The decisions taken from the Akal Takht Sahib reflect all these feelings and are considered historic.
