Amritsar (National Times) – In a major political development, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Harjinder Singh Dhami resigned from his post on Monday. His resignation was submitted to the SGPC interim committee, marking a significant shift in the organization’s leadership.
Reason Behind the Resignation
Dhami’s decision comes in the wake of a social media post by Sri Akal Takht Sahib Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh, for whom he had publicly expressed support. Additionally, he strongly condemned the treatment of illegal Punjabi immigrants deported from the United States, a matter that has sparked outrage among the Sikh community.
He voiced concerns over the way many Sikh deportees landed in Amritsar without their turbans, describing it as a deeply distressing and disrespectful incident.
What’s Next?
With Dhami’s resignation, SGPC is expected to deliberate on his replacement in the coming days. His departure signals a potential shift in SGPC’s stance on key community issues, particularly regarding Sikh rights and international immigration concerns.
This resignation adds to the ongoing debate surrounding the treatment of Punjabi immigrants abroad, further fueling discussions on government action and community response.
