The Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday alleged that the Haryana government has virtually taken over the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC).
The party was reacting to the move for setting up of an ad hoc committee to manage and supervise the gurdwaras in the state till the new committee is constituted.
In a statement here, SAD chief spokesperson and former minister Daljit Singh Cheema said new developments are not surprising for the Akali Dal as they have vindicated the stand of the party that the BJP-led government wants to usurp powers of the HSGMC.
