AMRITSAR SAHIB—Condemning the promises being made by Haryana Chief minister, Bhupinder Hooda, to form a separate Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee for Haryana, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Makkar has stated that Hooda is trying to create a divide among the Sikh community through a well-planned conspiracy.
Issuing a hard hitting statement, Makkar appealed to Sikhs to remain cautious against the nefarious designs of the Congress. He slammed Hooda for reviving the issue and warned him that the Sikhs would not let him to succeed.
“Anti-Sikh forces” are on the prowl and waiting for an opportunity to tarnish the image of the SGPC, which is the premier body of all Sikhs across the globe”, he alleged, adding that the sole intention of Congress is to interfere in the Gurdwara affairs through people like Jagdish Singh Jhinda and Deedar Singh Nalvi.
Makkar said that Sikhs will not allow any sort of change in the current set-up of the SGPC at any cost. He said the management of historic Gurdwaras in Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh have been running smoothly in the hands of SGPC for many years.
