Malout, November 13

A loyalist of Badals, first-time SGPC member from Malout, Bikkar Singh Channu (52), on Tuesday became the junior vice-president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).

Bikkar Singh, a native of Channu village in the Lambi Assembly segment, is also the president of SAD’s Muktsar district scheduled castes (SC) cell.

He had recently unsuccessfully contested the Zila Parishad election as a SAD candidate. Earlier, he had once served as member of the Zila Parishad and District Planning Board as well.

Bikkar’s wife Paramjeet Kaur is presently the sarpanch of Channu village. She has earlier served as member of the Panchayat Samiti.

Talking to Bathinda Tribune from Amritsar on Tuesday, an elated Bikkar Singh Channu said, “It is all the blessings of Waheguru and support of SGPC members, who elected me as the junior vice-president.”

Notably, Bikkar was always seen at the sangat darshan programmes of former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal during the SAD-BJP regime.

The party had also given him the charge of some villages of the Lambi Assembly segment to look after in the absence of senior Badal.
