Describing the Badals as second-generation mahants misusing the SGPC, Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh today asked Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal not to divert the people’s attention from the real issues by trying to exploit their religious sentiments."
“How have I maligned the SGPC by simply asking for an explanation on the massive deficit in the Darbar Sahib accounts,” he asked Sukhbir. “The general perception is that you have been blatantly misusing SGPC funds that has led to this deficit”.
“You, your father and some of your henchmen have turned out to be second-generation mahants who are manipulating and misusing the institution for personal gains”, he remarked. On Sukhbir’s allegations of dividing the Sikhs, Capt Amarinder observed: “You have already divided them into Sehajdharis, patits and others”.
He said Sukhbir needed to explain the exclusion of more than half of the Sikh voters from the SGPC elections. He asked the SAD president to declare as to how many candidates fielded by his party for the SGPC elections belonged to Gursikh families.
