Harmit Singh Kalka, the President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), mentioned that since the draft of the Uniform Civil Code has not yet been released by the Central government, it is premature to decide whether the Sikh community will support or oppose it.

Kalka further stated that the formation of the 11-member committee aims to facilitate communication with the Central government, ensuring that the rights of Sikhs and their religious practices remain intact. He conveyed this information during a press conference held after the Sikh conclave, which took place at the Rakabganj gurdwara. The conclave witnessed the participation of individuals from the Sikh community, including former judges and bureaucrats from 13 states.
