Morcha fires another salvo at SAD

Ludhiana, July 6
With the election scene for the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) gathering momentum, the Panthic Morcha today came out with yet another missive against the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) for appointing a ‘non-Sikh’ to the managing trust of the Guru Ram Dass College of Medical Sciences run by the SGPC.
A senior Panthic Morcha leader and the chief of the Sant Samaj, Baba Sarbhjot Singh Bedi said that the SGPC had appointed Dr Balwant Sigh Tung, who belongs to the Radha Soami sect, as a member of the trust managing the college.
Baba Bedi asserted, “This proves our contention that the people running the SGPC right now, who belong to the SAD, have not been running the institution according to the Panthic maryada…otherwise how could they explain the appointment of a non-Sikh to the managing trust of a Sikh institution”.
Dr Balwant Singh Tung is said to be a follower of the Radha Soami sect.
Baba Bedi observed that the SAD owed an explanation to the Sikhs as how could they act in a way contradicting the Panth traditions. He claimed that there were several similar acts of omission and commission of the SAD while running the SGPC and this would have a definite bearing on the outcome of the SGPC elections.
