But HSGMC chief Jagdish Singh Jhinda has reportedly denied all the allegations. He has stated that decision of supporting Congress was taken keeping all the members in the loop.

Jagdish Singh Jhinda said that Amrinder Arora was an ordinary member of HSGMC and disciplinary action will be taken against him for trying to confuse the Sikhs of Harayna.
