[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 152505, member: 884"] [b]re: SGPC Elections Cancelled by Punjab and Haryana Court? Confusion Reigns [/b] [COLOR="Navy"][B][SIZE="5"]Confusion over SGPC poll schedule; Sikh leaders slam Centre's move[/SIZE][/B] TNN | Sep 2, 2011, 06.32AM IST [B]CHANDIGARH:[/B] Following withdrawal of the notification by Union government, which had taken away voting rights of the Sehajdhari Sikhs for SGPC elections, confusion prevails over the fate of SGPC elections scheduled for September 18. Friday, September 2 is the last date for making votes for the gurdwara polls, but with this notification, the Sehajdhari Sikhs are now demanding that their right to vote for the coming elections be restored. If this section is to be accommodated then it would mean postponement of election process, however, in a rare show of unity, most of the Sikh factions contesting the SGPC polls are strictly against allowing Sehajdharis to vote. The Central Gurdwara Election Commission, hectically busy in the procedures of SGPC elections, has been caught in a quandary following the central government's withdrawal of its notification. Amidst speculations that the SGPC polls will have to be rescheduled or delayed to include Sehajdhari Sikh voters, Justice (retd) H S Brar, chief election commissioner, Gurdwara Election Commission said future course of action will be decided only after getting a copy of the Punjab and Haryana high court order. "We are guided by the ministry of home affairs in our working. We will await directions or take a call only after getting anything tangible from the government. So far, we have no information on the HC order," H S Brar told TOI. The total number of voters enrolled for the last SGPC elections five years ago was 50,54,617 voters, which has now risen to 56,03,193, of which 52,36,475 voters are from Punjab alone. The withdrawal of notification, meanwhile, has drawn sharp reactions from various political parties. SAD secretary general and MP Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa condemned the move, saying, "the Congress has again interfered in internal matters of Sikhs by withdrawing the notification issued unanimously in 2003 even after obtaining the consent of Congress leaders". Dhindsa said the notification was issued after a joint meeting held under the chairmanship of then deputy prime minister L K Advani and attended by him (Dhindsa) as representative of Sikhs, the Union law minister, then Punjab CM Amarinder Singh, and representatives of Haryana, Himachal governments had unanimously debarred Sehajdhari Sikhs from voting for SGPC. The development also drew sharp reaction from shiromani panthic council chairman and former general secretary of SGPC, Manjit Singh Calcutta, who called it a "deep rooted controversy". "Union government's two recent decisions - saying no to Anand Marriage Act and now withdrawing of the notification debarring Sehajdhari voters - are manifestations of conspiracies to harm the separate Sikh identity," said Calcutta. "Now this is the major challenge for the entire community and it has dwarfed the issue of our fight against Badal," Calcutta said. However, he held that Badal would never take up any Sikh cause in the right earnest apart from lip service. Describing the development as "dangerous" for the community, the Dal Khalsa strongly advocated that no voting right should be given to any non-Sikh. Dal Khalsa leader Kanwar Pal Singh warned that giving voting right to Sehajdharis could snowball into a direct confrontation between the Centre and the Sikhs. "If Hindus and Muslims did not allow any outsider to interfere in their religious matters, why should Sikhs allow non-Sikhs to penetrate into their shrines," he said. D S Cheema, secretary Shiromani Akali Dal told TOI, "This is complete misuse of position. The withdrawal of notification is a deliberate attempt by the central government to derail the election procedure which is in final phase.
