CPI demands cancellation of SGPC election
Alleging that all norms of Gurdwara election commission were enormously violated during the SGPC polls, CPI national council member Joginder Dayal on Tuesday 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 Haryana 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.
Paswan, who later visited the injured at the Government Rajaji hospital in Madurai, said the national dalit front meeting to be held in Maharashtra would discuss the Paramakudi firing incident.
Families of those who killed should be given rs.10 lakh as relief and those injured rs.three lakh,he said.
Paswan demanded an enquiry by a sitting judge into the firing incident and action against those reponsible for opening fire.The firing had been done without any provocation and without following any norms and hence cases under IPC 302 (murder) should be registered against them,he said.
Meanwhile Congress leader K.V.Thangkabalu, who visited the injured and next of kin of those killed, said those responsible for the firing should be suspended before the inquiry was held and only then would it be fair.
He condemned the firing, alleging it was unprovoked,and action should be taken against those responsible.
The Tamil Nadu government has appointed retired high court Judge K Sampath to probe the firing incident.
