इस सबंध में जानकारी देते हुए कमेटी अध्यक्ष स. मनजिंदर सिंह सिरसा ने बताया कि हम सिंह सभाओं की राय लेना चाहते थे कि नगर कीर्तन व धार्मिक दीवान सजाने सहित अन्य समागमों के लिए क्या रूप रेखा बनाई जाये क्योंकि इस बार समय कोरोना महामारी के कारण बहुत गैर साधारण बना हुआ है। उन्होंने कहा कि सिंह सभाओं व कीर्तनीय जथों ने अपनी-अपनी राय दे दी है और हम जथेदार श्री अकाल तख्त सिंह साहिब ज्ञानी हरप्रीत सिंह जी के साथ विचार-विमर्श कर इन कार्यक्रमों की रूपरेखा तय करेंगे।

कमेटी के महासचिव श्री हरमीत सिंह कालका ने कहा कि वर्ष 2013 में जब से संगत ने शिरोमणि अकाली दली को सेवा सौंपी है, हम हर बार सिंह सभाओं व कीर्तनीय जथों के साथ विचार-विमर्श करके ही सभी कार्यक्रम आयोजित करते हैं व पिछले समय के दौरान शताब्दियां भी इनके साथ विचार-विमर्श कर ही मनाई गयी हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि इस बार सिंह सभाओं के प्रतिनिधियों की राय अलग-अलग है। कुछ कोरोना के कारण ऐसे कार्यक्रमों का आयोजन नहीं चाहते जबकि कुछ अपनी पुरातन परंपराएं कायम रखने के हक में हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि प्रभात फेरी तो काफी पहले ही शुरु हो जाती हैं और इस सब को देखते हुए सिंह सभाओं व कीर्तनीय जथों की राय से श्री अकाल तख्त साहिब के जथेदार ज्ञानी हरप्रीत सिंह को परिचित करवा कर उनके साथ विचार-विमर्श कर इस सबंध में अगला फैसला लिया जाएगा।
