[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 152564, member: 35"] [B][COLOR="Blue"]Related stor[/COLOR][/B]y Shaven Sikhs can't vote in SGPC polls: Centre NEW DELHI: The Centre has assured Parliament that it has no intention of amending a notification curtailing the rights of sehajdhari Sikhs to vote in the Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) elections, nipping a potentially emotive political agitation. The Centre acted after all panthic groups and the Shiromani Akali Dal criticized the submission by its counsel to the Punjab and Haryana High Court that the ban on shaven Sikhs voting in the SGPC elections was being reviewed. The move set off shockwaves in Punjab where Akalis swiftly accused Congress of interfering in Sikh affairs and SGPC election due later this month, making the debate sharper. It is understood that the submission was prompted by senior Punjab Congress leaders, who felt the gambit could be politically beneficial. The developments led to urgent fire-fighting at the Centre, with the government telling BJP that the counsel did not hold the brief and appeared to have misled the court. It was conveyed that the Centre has no intention of tampering with SGPC election rules. Keeping sehajdharis out of the voting process was decided in 2003 when then home minister L K Advani reached an agreement with Sikh groups, including BJP ally SAD. Reversing the order was bound to provoke an outcry with Akalis raising "Sikhism in danger" slogan. Congress leaders informed BJP on Thursday evening itself that the matter would be sorted out with the court being informed of the correct position. There is some puzzlement in Congress circles about the argument presented to the court as the party senses the possibility of defeating the ruling Akali-BJP combine in the assembly polls due next year. Needling Sikh sensibilities does not seem like sound politics. While the Akalis welcomed the decision not to alter the notification on sehajdharis, they demanded an inquiry into how the Centre's counsel "misled" the court. Akalis see the hand of their bitter Congress rival Amarinder Singh and would like to pin down the bid to change the voting rules onto to him. The emotive issue of "shaven" Sikhs could set off a strong reaction against Congress among the landed or Jat Sikhs, who are the backbone of Akali support. Congress has won whenever it has been able to capitalize on this section's disenchantment with SAD.
