While addressing a press conference here, DSGMC’s Dharam Parchar Wing Punjab chief Manjit Singh Bhoma backed the candidature of Kaur and urged all SGPC members to elect her. “Action of suspending her from the party proves that Badals consider the SGPC as their personal asset and dominate it. SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal wants to maintain his control over the gurdwara body by appointing his loyalist as its president. By doing so, Sukhbir dictates the president and get his work done,” he said.
