Sgpc Issue

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said people have the right to early polls of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, hours after he was authorised by the State Assembly to take up with the Centre the issue of delay in elections of the supreme body controlling gurdwaras. The SGPC elections are pending since 2016.

The Akali Dal has asked the Central government, of which it is a part, to help resolve a crisis over the management of Gurudwaras in Haryana. The Akali Dal rules Punjab, while the Congress is in power in adjacent Haryana, where state elections are due this year.

Punjab chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has called for an emergency core committee meeting of his party, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), today to discuss the issue of clemency for Balwant Singh Rajoana, who is on death row for the assassination of former Chief Minister Beant Singh.
