Stating this here on Monday, SGPC additional secretary Daljit Singh Bedi said the decision was taken by SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar on the suggestion of some Sikh scholars and intellectuals based in Canada, England, the US and other countries. Some of them had expressed their inability to attend the conference on the given dates, he added.

No fresh date has been announced for the event.
