 Sehajdhari Sikh Federation was formed on 13 April 2001 by holding Ardas at Gurudwara Tahliana Sahib Raekot by certain likeminded secular persons especially those Sikhs who were born in Sikh families, when resolutions were passed by SGPC to disfranchise the voting right of Sehajdhari Sikhs in SGPC elections.Firstly the organization was registered under the Society Act at Ludhiana and then on November 4, 2001, the Federation held a large congregation of thousands of Sehajdhari Sikhs before Akal Takht at Amritsar and held Ardas by turning the Sehajdhari Sikh Federation into a political out fit and named it as Sehajdhari Shiromani Akali Dal SSAD.Later an application was filed with the Election Commission of India for getting the organization registered as a Political Party under section 29(A) of the Representation of the People Act 1951.
