Haryana Sikhs to get own SGPC.

Legislation to be brought in Assembly session on July 11: Hooda
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday announced a separate Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee for his state ignoring strong protests from Amritsar-based apex religious body of the Sikhs, the SGPC, and other groups.

ormer Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president Paramjit Singh Sarna hailed Haryana Sikhs for not giving up on their demand. “If Delhi can have a separate body to manage its gurdwaras and so can the Patna Sahib and the Nanded Sahib, why can’t Haryana have a similar privilege?” he said 

What happens now?
  • The state government will table a Bill for the formation of a separate Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (HSGPC) in the Assembly, when it meets for the monsoon session on July 11
  • The government will seek Haryana Governor Jagannath Pahadia's approval
  • It will then issue a notification after which the process of electing the new body can begin.
