KAPURTHALA: Former Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president and Punjab minister Bibi Jagir Kaur will rejoin the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on November 15. Her return, originally scheduled for November 13, was postponed as party president Sukhbir Singh Badal was in Delhi.
According to the revised programme, Sukhbir Badal will visit her residence in Begowal, Kapurthala district, on Sunday.
Jasmanpreet Singh, Bibi Jagir Kaur’s political secretary, announced the new date in a social media post. The message said Sukhbir Badal would reach Dera Sant Baba Prem Singh Ji Murale Wale in Begowal at 1.30 pm on November 15, 2026. It added that the programme had been postponed from November 13 due to the SAD president’s engagements. The announcement was made on behalf of Bibi Jagir Kaur and Yuvraj Bhupinder Singh.
Bibi Jagir Kaur has been associated with the Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit), led by Giani Harpreet Singh, for nearly two years. In recent months, she had publicly criticised the party, citing a lack of direction in Punjab’s politics.
