The SAD has taken charge from Manjit Singh GK and gave temporary charge of president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) to Harmeet Singh Kalka.

Manjit was absent in a press conference addressed by former general secretary of the DSGMC Manjinder Singh Sirsa. There are allegations of financial irregularities against Manjit Singh levelled by independent member of the gurdwara committee Gurmeet Singh Shanty. The court has also directed the police for registration of an FIR against him.

Sirsa said the executive committee of the DSGMC was dissolved. He and Kalka had been asked by the party high command to look after the committee affairs temporarily till the new committee was constituted.

The new executive committee of the DSGMC will be constituted on December 29 under the monitoring of the Directorate of Gurdwara Elections, Delhi government.

Though the executive committee elections are due on March 29, 2019, but they are being done three months before. This happened as the president and other members were forced to resign by the party high command following corruption charges against former president Manjit Singh GK.

Sirsa said in the 47 years of the history of the Delhi Gurdwara Act-1971, the elections to the executive committee were being conducted first time before the due date.
