EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 6: Various Sikh Bodies including, Sikh Welfare Front J&K, All India Sikh Students Federation J&K and Sikh Youths Front J&K have demanded fresh elections of District Gurdwara Parbandhak Committees (DGPCs) in J&K after the expiry of 5 years term of existing DGPs in July 2020.
Avtar Singh Khalsa, Chairman Sikh Welfare Front and Member DGPC Jammu while addressing a joint press conference with senior Sikh leaders of these organization here today, said that after the expiry of existing term of DGPCs the J&K the administration should either conduct fresh elections for District Gurdwara Parbandhak committees or the existing committees should be given extension till fresh elections are held.
He said certain opportunistic and selfish elements are misguiding the concerned administration for installing their own puppets from back door entry, without the consent of the Sikh community in J&K and said any such undemocratic step will further increase the resentment and alienation among the community which has been recently totally neglected in the selection of Public Service Commission (PSC) members.
In another important declaration Sikh bodies have demanded immediate audit of all District Gurdwara Parbandhak Committees for the sake of accountability and transparency.
Khalsa and other Sikh leaders informed that from time to time Sikh bodies and Sikh leaders from entire J&K have given written suggestion for amendments in J&K Gurdwara Act 1973, for the sake of clarity of Powers of Gurdwara Board & DGPCs. But unfortunately our all such genuine concerns have not been addressed till date, adding that in this context we demand that J&K UT administration should immediately appoint a joint committee of legal experts and Sikh representatives for looking into the necessary amendments in J&K Gurdwara Act 1973. |
