SAD(A) hails Hooda for HGPC, declares its support for polls

Chandigarh, The Haryana unit of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) today expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for realizing “long pending demand” of Sikhs by giving them the right to manage the state’s shrines by enacting a separate Haryana Gurudwara Sikh Management Act-2014 and has decided to extend full support to him for the forthcoming assembly polls.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, copy of which was released to media here, Haryana SAD (A) president Prof Ajit Singh Kahlon also appreciated various decisions taken by the state government for the welfare of farmers and the common man.

He urged Hooda that their organisation should also be considered as representative of Sikh Community of Haryana and therefore be given membership of the Haryana Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (HGPC).

He said that out of the total 130 lakh voters in the state, 18 Lakh voters are Sikhs which constitute about 14 per cent of the voters.

He requested Hooda that they should be given adequate representation in the Haryana Assembly so that the Sikh Community could also get an opportunity to serve the state.
