Bibi Jagir Kaur’s Return to SAD (Badal) Put on Hold

The return of former Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Bibi Jagir Kaur to the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) has been postponed after party president Sukhbir Singh Badal was summoned to Delhi by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Sukhbir Badal has been called to Delhi on November 13, delaying the planned event marking Bibi Jagir Kaur’s return to the Akali Dal.

Reports of her possible return had created considerable political buzz in Punjab. She was also being trolled on social media following the speculation.

A major gathering had been planned at Bibi Jagir Kaur’s residence in Begowal on November 13, with people from the Bholath constituency invited to attend.

There was speculation that she would rejoin the Akali Dal on November 13, 2026, in the presence of party president Sukhbir Singh Badal. The homecoming ceremony was expected to take place at the Dera of Sant Prem Singh Muralewale, where Bibi Jagir Kaur serves as the chief caretaker.
