SGPC elections: A delegation of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee led by Chief Commissioner Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami met Election Commissioner SS Saron demanding to ensure registration of eligible Sikh voters in the general elections of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and to do the task in a transparent manner.

He said that ensuring voter registration as per the rules of management of the Sikh organisation Shiromani Committee is the primary duty of the Gurdwara Election Commission and the Commission should pay utmost attention to the objections and concerns of the Sangat.
Through the letter to the commissioner, it was also demanded that orders be issued to ensure access to Sikh and Sidd voters and to verify the identity of each voter and vote only with his latest photo form. Shiromani Committee member Advocate Bhagwant Singh Sialka, Secretary Pratap Singh, Deputy Secretary Lakhbir Singh were present on this occasion.
