At present, Gaba is president of Gurdwara Dukhniwaran ‘Naumi Patshahi’ in Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar. He has remained associated with the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) for the past many decades.

AAP leaders welcomed Gaba and his supporters and hoped that his entry would strengthen the party in the state.

Gaba actively participated in the protests held by Sikh organisations against sacrilege incidents during the last year.
