Amritsar: With the completion of the religious penance, the leadership of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), including its president Sukhbir Singh Badal, now faces the formidable task of reorganisation of the party, a process that will require new enrolment and the appointment of delegates and to sink differences between the Akali leaders. In accordance with the directions issued by the Jathedar of Akal Takht on Dec 2, the SAD working committee was initially required to accept the resignation of Sukhbir Singh Badal within three days, by Dec 5. However, this deadline was later extended, granting a revised period until Dec 25 to complete this process. One of the most significant tasks ahead is to negotiate a truce with the dissident Akali leaders, who had initially approached the Akal Takht with a formal complaint against SAD president. To facilitate the truce, the Sikh high priests constituted a committee under the leadership of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami with former SGPC president Kirpal Singh Badungar, Iqbal Singh Jhunda, Gurpartap Singh Wadala, Manpreet Singh Ayalee, Santa Singh Umedpuri and Bibi Satwant Kaur as its members. “There has been no meeting of the committee, nor any information regarding one, so far,” said Wadala, who was the chairman of the SAD Sudhar Lehar that was recently dissolved. The Sikh high priests had directed that the SAD leadership had lost its moral right to politically lead the Panth due to its past transgressions. They issued directives for a new enrollment process, incorporating both new and existing delegates and complete the process within six months. The Sikh high priests also mandated the election of office-bearers, including the president, within this timeframe and specifically cautioned against bogus enrollments, stipulating that only those members with valid Aadhaar cards should be included. While the Sikh high priests have directed the Akali leaders to unite, it seems to be a distant dream. “Sukhbir and other Akali leaders have not fully complied with the directives of the Akal Takht. The working committee was instructed to accept Sukhbir’s resignation within three days, but this has not been done. Media reports suggest that the timeframe has been extended to 20 days, however, it is unclear who authorised this extension, as no such letter from the Akal Takht has been issued. Furthermore, we have yet to hear of any meeting convened under the leadership of Dhami,” said Bibi Jagir Kaur. We also published the following articles recently SAD in Catch-22 situation after Akal Takht directives The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) faces challenges implementing Akal Takht directives regarding Sukhbir Badal's resignation and party membership. SAD leadership argues that complying with religious orders could jeopardize their political party registration. A seven-member committee for new enrollments remains inactive, with SGPC president Harjinder Dhami seeking legal counsel to avoid conflicts. Religious connotations are in line with law, follow Akal Takht directives: SAD gen secy Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) General Secretary Gurjeet Singh Talwandi asserts that political parties aligning with religious principles is legally permissible. Citing an Election Commission affidavit to the Supreme Court, Talwandi argues that no law prohibits such associations. He emphasizes that parties like SAD and Shiv Sena have strong religious roots, protected by the court. Baljit Singh Daduwal elected president of Shiromani Akali Dal Azad Sikh preacher Baljit Singh Daduwal was appointed president of the newly formed Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Azad at a Kurukshetra gurdwara gathering. Chosen after a 15-day consultation period led by five HSGMC members, Daduwal's leadership aims to address Sikh issues and the upcoming HSGMC elections.

This week, the Bank of Canada announced another outsized interest rate cut of half a percentage point while also signalling it plans to slow the pace of cuts going forward. Allan Small, senior investment adviser at iA Private Wealth, said the central bank is juggling a lot of balls heading into the new year, including a faltering economy, a housing market that’s poised to heat up, and a U.S. Fed likely to cut much slower next year. “If (the Bank of Canada) continues to cut when the U.S. doesn’t, where does that leave our dollar?” asked Small. “They’re flying by the seat of their pants.” The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 136.41 points at 25,274.30. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 86.06 points at 43,828.06. The S&P 500 index was down 0.16 points at 6,051.09, while the Nasdaq composite was up 23.88 points at 19,926.72. The Fed has done a better job of tamping down inflation while not harming the economy too much, said Small. The Fed is expected to cut by a quarter-percentage point next week, and its path is clearer than the Bank of Canada’s, said Small. “I don’t think they have much room to cut more,” he said, noting this week saw U.S. inflation data tick up from the month before. “Most people think they’ll go 25 (basis points) and pause for a little while,” said Small. “Would I be surprised to see them not cut at all? No, but I think the market would take that negatively.” Heading into the last few weeks of the year, Small said if there’s a so-called Santa Claus rally, it may be more muted than usual. “It's quite possible we've taken some gains that we normally would have had in December, brought them forward into November, and now December might not be as strong as we normally see,” he said. On Wall St., the Nasdaq did a little better than its U.S. peers as semiconductor company Broadcom saw its stock gain more than 24 per cent after reporting earnings. “I think the commentary on the conference call really caused the stock to shoot up," said Small. The company gave a bright forecast for investors on the back of expected growth in artificial intelligence. This week, Broadcom and Apple also announced a deal to develop a chip for AI. The Canadian dollar traded for 70.27 cents US compared with 70.48 cents US on Thursday. The January crude oil contract was up US$1.27 at US$71.29 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was down 18 cents at US$3.28 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was down US$33.60 at US$2,675.80 an ounce and the March copper contract was down five cents at US$4.15 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 13, 2024.
