Jalandhar: Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday postponed his scheduled visit to Begowal on Friday to reinduct former Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Bibi Jagir Kaur into the party fold. Bibi announced on her Facebook page that Sukhbir’s visit was postponed due to ‘pressing engagements’ and the next programme would be communicated later. Jagir Kaur’s supporters from the constituency were expected to gather during Sukhbir’s visit.Bibi Jagir Kaur earlier told TOI that Sukhbir called her up and told her that he would be visiting her on Nov 13. Before Sukhbir’s call, leaders from Sukhbir’s camp had been calling Bibi, urging her to return to the party fold. She said that her supporters from her Bholath constituency have been asking her to join Aam Aadmi Party or Sukhbir’s camp for better electoral prospects. But she had refused to join AAP even as members of her family were ready for it.
