Amritsar, Sep 19 (PTI) Alleging that all norms of Gurdwara Election Commission were enormously violated during the SGPC polls, CPI National Council member Joginder Dayal today demanded its cancellation. "There were clear cut instructions by the Chief Gurdwara Election Commission that no Sehajdhari Sikh would exercise voting right, following the court directions, but not even Sehajdhari people many clean shaven were also shown casting their votes at various tv channels," Dayal said. When the matter related to Sehajdhari Sikhs was still pending in the Punjab and Harayna High Court, why non-Sikhs and clean shaven people were given chance to cast their votes for SGPC elections on September 18, he asked. "Now thousands of Sehajdhari Sikhs who didn't come out from their houses with the impression in their mind that they wouldn't be allowed to cast vote, fell discriminated...In such precarious circumstances, SGPC elections should be cancelled," Dayal said.
