Kurukshetra/Chandigarh: Sikh leaders demanding separate SGPC for Haryana on Sunday took charge of a prestigious gurudwara here evoking sharp reaction from the apex body managing Sikh shrines which alleged that the move had the support of Bhupinder Singh Hooda government.
President of the self-appointed Haryana SGPC Jagdish Singh Jhinda said he had taken over the control of Chhavin Patshahi Gurudwara in Kurukshetra without facing any resistance from the shrine's present functionaries including its manager.
There were only two persons in the gurudwara complex who left soon after the take-over by the 'HSGPC', he said, adding that the step has been taken as the state government has "failed" to do justice to those demanding a separate SGPC for Haryana.
Strongly opposing the move, SGPC, the apex elected body managing affairs of Sikh shrines, accused Bhupinder Singh Hooda Government in Haryana of "supporting" few Sikhs in taking "forcible control" of the historical gurudwara and asserted that it will take back the shrine under its control at any cost.
"The Bhupinder Singh Hooda Government is supporting few Sikhs who carrying arms and ammunition took forcible control of a historic Gurudwara in Kurukshetra," SGPC Chief Avtar Singh Makkar said while leaving for Kurukshetra. "The SGPC will take back control of this Gurudwara at any cost," he said while lashing out at Hooda Government and the Kurukshetra district administration for their alleged inaction.
