Amritsar:Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha and Amritsar MP Capt Amarinder Singh today cautioned Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh against being allegedly misled by the Badals on the issue of a separate SGPC for Haryana.
He was referring to reports that both Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his Deputy Sukhbir Badal had appealed to the Union Minister against allowing Haryana to have a separate gurdwara panel.
“This will not only amount to interfering in the constitutional and legislative rights of the state but also ignoring the sentiments of the Sikhs living in Haryana. The Union Government should stay off the matter,” he said in a statement.
The former Punjab Chief Minister reminded Rajnath Singh that separate gurdwara managing committees were already functional in Delhi, Bihar and Maharashtra. “When these states can have their separate and independent gurdwara managing committees, why deny a similar right to the Sikhs in Haryana?” he asked.
