SGPC chief Harjinder Dhami authorised to nominate new DSGMC member
Amritsar: The interim committee of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which met in Amritsar on Tuesday, has authorised SGPC president Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami to nominate a new member of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC).
Earlier, the SGPC has sent the name of Manjinder Singh Sirsa as DSGMC member. However, the directorate of gurdwara election, New Delhi, disqualified former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president Manjinder Singh Sirsa from being chosen as a ‘co-opted’ member of the DSGMC.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa had lost the DSGMC elections held on August 22 to Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) candidate Harvinder Singh Sarna.
Narinder Singh, director of gurdwara election, had said Sirsa was not eligible for the post. “Manjinder Singh Sirsa is not well-versed with reading and writing of Gurmukhi and, therefore, does not qualify the eligibility conditions as laid under Section 10 of the (DSGMC) Act,” Narinder Singh had said.
On the other hand, on December 1, SAD leader and DSGMC chief Manjinder Singh Sirsa joined the BJP.
