SGPC’S WINDOW DRESSING

-

The Shiromani Akali Dal’s contesting the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee elections is a damage control exercise after seeking the support of the Dera Sacha Sauda in the recent Punjab polls. SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar, a Badal loyalist, initiated a probe on the pretext that SAD candidates themselves visited the dera. It’s an open secret that the SGPC and the SAD are family enterprise­s of the Badals and without their will the visit of the candidates is not possible. Voters know Badungar’s inquiry is just window dressing. Rajan Batta, Nabha
