For now, the Interim Committee has not accepted the resignation of Harjinder Singh Dhami. The committee has appealed to Harjinder Singh Dhami to reconsider his decision. It was decided in the Interim Committee that a delegation of the Interim Committee will meet Harjinder Singh Dhami. The 5-member committee will meet Dhami and appeal to Harjinder Singh Dhami to withdraw his services. The committee members said that we will meet again in two-three days soon, in which another major decision will be taken. It is worth mentioning here that after the resignation of Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami on February 17, the Chief Secretary of the Shiromani Committee has called an emergency meeting on a notice of 72 hours and during this, the Shiromani Committee members, Akali leadership and Panthic organizations are appealing to him to withdraw his resignation, but he is still adamant on his decision. Resignation after the post of Jathedar In fact, the Shiromani Committee had conducted an investigation on the allegations made against the former Jathedar of Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, Giani Harpreet Singh, after which he was relieved of his post as Jathedar on the basis of this investigation. After which the Jathedar of Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Raghbir Singh, S. G. P. C. had objected to the decision of the Jathedar. The Jathedar had said that the S. G. P. C. has no authority to conduct an investigation against the Jathedar. Any Jathedar can be investigated only by the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, after which Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh had also posted on social media. Also left out of the Monitoring Committee With the announcement of resignation, Dhami had also said that he was stepping down from the 7-member committee formed to monitor the membership drive of the Shiromani Akali Dal. He had written a letter to the Jathedar and informed about this. After Dhami's stepping down from the committee, former S. G. P. C. president Kirpal Singh Badungar had also announced his stepping down from the 7-member committee. He had said that when the president of the committee has resigned, how will those members hold a meeting.
