Bathinda/ Faridkot, According to media reports, Bathinda police on Saturday claimed through an email that Baba Baljit Singh Daduwal has sent a handwritten note that he had resigned from the ad hoc Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC).
According to reports, Baba Baljit Singh Daduwal briefly talked to press reporters outside Faridkot jail on August 30 and further that he also handed over a handwritten note to the reporters declaring his resignation from HSGMC. He reportedly said that Jagdish Singh Jhinda has “politicized” the HSGMC by announcing support for the Congress party in Haryana assembly polls. Daduwal reportedly said that he was resigning from HSGMC.
But according to media reports , Sukhmeet Kaur, wife of Baba Baljit Singh Daduwal termed the police claims as baseless, saying the note could be fake and circulated to defame her husband.

She said, “I have no knowledge of any such note written by him. The note could be a fake to defame my husband.”
Meanwhile, Haryana committee vice-president Didar Singh Nalwi has also denied knowledge of any such note from Daduwal.
