Amritsar, Punjab (July 14, 2014): Referring to the HSGPC bill becoming an act, Dal Khalsa has extended its congratulations to Sikhs of Haryana for getting the right to manage their religious institutions free from the stranglehold of Badals.
Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said with HSGPC becoming a reality, all lies, bluffs and misleading statement by Badals have thoroughly been exposed. Referring to their intimacy with the state Congress govt, he expressed hope that Haryana Sikhs would follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada approved by Akal Takht and would not any way encourage or allow state interference in Sikh religious affairs.
He said mismanagement, corruption, misappropriation of funds besides Badals making SGPC an extension counter of the Akali Dal were some of the reasons why Sikhs outside Punjab have got alienated from the mainstream Akali Dal and took extreme step to get separated from the SGPC.
