SAD Politicising SGPC, Says Congress MP

Charging the Shiromani Akali Dal with politicising the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee, Congress MP and president of state Youth Congress Ravneet Singh Bittu today said he will approach those close to it to vote against the SAD.

"Although, the Congress will not directly contest the SGPC election, but it will definitely approach its near and dear ones to vote against SAD candidates, as the latter virtually politicise the religious institution", Bittu, who was here to take meeting of the District Youth Congress, told reporters.

Asked whether the Congress would support the candidates of Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DGSMC) led by its President Paramjit Singh Sarna, Bittu evaded a direct reply and said "we will support all good candidates in the SGPC poll, who will promise to free the SGPC from the clutches of SAD".
Justify Full
Earlier former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had said that the Congress would support Sarna's candidates in the SGPC, but after his criticism in the party circles on the issue, he had to virtually take back his statement.

On a query regarding the Union Government's decision to review the "black list" of Sikhs, Bittu welcomed the decision and said "it is good that the Sikhs, who are no more attached or involved in separatists' activities should be allowed for their comeback."
