This decision was made unanimously during an important meeting held in Chandigarh today, chaired by Senior Vice President of the SGPC, Raghujit Singh Virk.

The executive committee of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has rejected the resignation of Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami and has urged him to resume his duties as the Chief Sewadar of the SGPC immediately.
