The five Sikh high priests here today decided to get approval of the executive committee of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) on amendments in the Nanakshahi calendar.
Jathedar Akal Takht Giani Gurbachan Singh, coming out of the second meeting held at Akal Takht secretariat, said the Singh Sahibans (Sikh high priests) would discuss the changes in the calendar only after the approval of executive committee.
The Sikh high priests gathered to discuss the amendments suggested by the two-member committee comprising SGPC head Avtar Singh and President Sant Samaj Harnam Singh Dhumma.
Apparently, the Sikh high priests could not arrive at a mutually agreed decision. Besides, many sikh organisations came together to flay any move resulting in modification of the calendar.
