Sarna: DSGMC chief violated Gurdwara Act

New Delhi, December 7

Paramjit Singh Sarna, president of the SAD (Delhi), said Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) chief Manjit Singh GK and executive committee members did not follow the legal procedure while submitting their resignations.

According to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1971, the DSGMC chief and the executive members should submit their resignation before the General House. “If the General House accepts the resignation, the executive committee is dissolved and the president can call the election for a new committee,” Sarna claimed.

Director of the Directorate of Gurdwara Elections, Delhi, Shurbir Singh said, “I have received a letter from the DSGMC on the executive committee election. I will examine this in the light of the Act before replying to the gurdwara committee.” — TNS
