AMRITSAR: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) working president Balwinder Singh Bhundar has called the party's working committee meeting on January 10 to take a call on accepting the resignation of party president Sukhbir Singh Badal besides deciding on holding a membership drive to pave the way for restructuring of the party.
"The meeting will decide on the pending resignation of Sukhbir Singh Badal, besides announcing the schedule of membership drive for fresh organisation elections. In addition, all important issues of the state will be discussed," party spokesperson Daljit Singh Cheema posted on X.
The decision comes hours after a delegation of SAD leaders on Wednesday met Akal Takht jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh citing "legal hurdles" being faced by the party in implementing the December 2 decree of re-organisation of the party.
On December 2, the Akal Takht had ordered the SAD working committee to accept resignation of Sukhbir Singh Badal, who had been declared tankhaiya (guilty of religious misconduct) for the mistakes committed during the SAD regime in Punjab, and formed a panel to appoint new delegates and hold elections for the post of SAD president and other office-bearers within six months.
