Hooda govt, Akali Dal in face-off over Haryana gurdwara committee
The Akali Dal government also asked the Centre to intervene into the issue to prevent the legislation for a separate Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) from being implemented.
Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal has threatened to quit at a rally on July 27 if the Act is not withdrawn. Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said that Haryana had gone against the constitution and against national integration.
Unperturbed with debate, Hooda government in Hariya declined to back off on the issue.
The HSGPC has been constituted under the Haryana Sikh Gurudwara Management Act, 2014. It will continue to hold charge and manage the affairs of all the gurudwaras in Haryana until a new committee is elected as provided for in the Act.
Meanwhile, Haryana government already nominated 41 members of the Haryana Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee to look after the assets, both movable and immovable properties, of the gurudwaras in the state.
