[QUOTE="kds1980, post: 152486, member: 1178"] [b]Re: SGPC elections cancelled by Punjab and Haryana Court, notification withdrawn[/b] AISSF to move SC The All-India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) has decided to move a petition in the Supreme Court against the decision of the Union Government to withdraw the notification issued on October 20, 2003, denying Sehajdhari Sikhs the right to vote in the SGPC elections. Demanding that the ongoing election process should continue as notified by the government, AISSF president Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad said: “The Congress-led Union Government is directly interfering in the religious affairs of the Sikh community, which was evident from the withdrawal of this notification.” the Grapevine SAD patron and CM Parkash Singh Badal prevailed upon Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to get the SGPC elections conducted prior to the assembly elections in Punjab. But with the Congress leadership in the state viewing the poll as SAD’s “dress rehearsal” prior to the assembly elections, it suggested that it be postponed. The only way this was possible was to withdraw the 2003 notification. Out of the 170 SGPC members, the SAD did not give the party ticket to 90 members. These 90 members see the withdrawal of notification as a boon and are now considering forming a group to take on the SAD which had denied them the ticket. gurdwara act n The Sikh Gurdwara Act was passed in 1925 n The SGPC elections were first held in 1926 n Then in 1930,1936,1939, 1942 (till 1942 the term SGPC house had 3- year term), 1944 (the term increased to 5 years), 1955, 1960, 1965, 1979, 1996 and 2004 lone exception In the history of the SGPC elections, it was only in 1939 that Bhai Khushi Ram, a Sehajdhari, was elected from Multan (now in Pakistan) Till 1966, the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925, was a state Act, but after the reorganisation of states into Punjab, Haryana, HP and Chandigarh, the Act became a Central Act. The withdrawal of the notification debarring Sehajdhari Sikhs from the SGPC elections has stunned the Sikhs. This is a second blow to the community after the Centre dropped the proposal for a separate Sikh Marriage Act a few days back. Perneet Singh in Amritsar talked to some Sikh leaders on the issue: This is a political conspiracy. The Congress foresaw the defeat of the groups in the SGPC elections backed by it. Hence, the withdrawal of the 2003 notification — AS Makkar, SGPC chief It is a case of misuse of power by the Centre. It is an illegal move aimed at derailing the SGPC poll process. The Centre should have let the court decide if the notification was right or wrong — SAD secy DS Cheema We will ensure that next time the voters’ lists are prepared for the SGPC polls, the DSGMC model is followed and voters are issued photo identity cards — DSGMC chief PS Sarna The writ petition of Sehajdharis was pending for the past four years. If they had to withdraw the notification,why did they declare the elections? — Noted lawyer HS Phoolka It is another double blow to the Sikhs after the decision to drop the move on Sikh Marriage Act. Neither the court nor the government has the right to decide the definition of a Sikh — SGPC former secretary MS Calcutta Giving voting rights to Sehajdhari Sikhs may bring the Sikhs into a direct confrontation with the Centre.
