Prof Chandumajra said Kalka and his group had also betrayed the ‘sangat’ of Delhi by their act. “They were elected to the DSGMC on the symbol of the SAD. Their mandate is to serve the community as per the DSGMC Act of 1971. If they want to serve as independent members they should resign and seek re-election,” he added.
