In a critical show of unity, 106 members of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) have pledged their allegiance to Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal, the party confirmed on Tuesday.

During a meeting in the presence of SAD vice-president Daljit Singh Cheema, 93 members attended physically, while others explained their absence due to various reasons including travel and health issues.

Cheema further detailed that, despite recent internal revolts within SAD, all 106 members expressed complete faith in Badal's leadership. The majority-support underscores SAD's influence within the SGPC general house, which is crucial ahead of the upcoming elections.
