The venue for the conference has been shifted from the grain market to the local stadium given the large numbers expected to attend. �However, leader of the ad-hoc committee maintain that the venue has been chosen due to the security concerns since the SGPC and the Shiromani Akali Dal (B) have continued to oppose the plan.
Didar Singh Nalwi said, �We are hoping a big gathering which will be addressed by the Chief minister and cabinet Minister Randeep Singh Surjewala, among others. Many religious and political leaders will also attend.�
Nalvi added that the government announcement will have to be followed by a session of the Assembly. �After new states were carved out of Punjab, the provision for a separate Gurdwara committee for Haryana was also made. Parliament delegated the authority for its creation to the Haryana Assembly, that is why the House will have to pass it�before it can become official,� he explained.
