A new DS­GMC Ex­ec­u­tive is likely to be formed on 19 Janaury if all goes well at the gen­eral house con­vened for that date by the pre­sent of­fi­ci­at­ing lead­ers ow­ing al­le­giance to the Shi­ro­mani Akali Dal Badal.

After weeks of wran­gling among DS­GMC mem­bers, the of­fi­ci­at­ing pres­i­dent of the body, Harmeet Singh Kalkaji and Gen­eral Sec­re­tary Man­jin­der Singh Sirsa have an­nounced that the new ex­ec­u­tive com­mit­tee of the Delhi Sikh Gur­d­wara Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee would be formed at the meet­ing of the gen­eral house of the Board sched­uled to be held on 19 Jan­u­ary 2019 at the Con­fer­ence Hall of the DS­GMC in the Guru Gob­ind Singh Bhawan in the Gur­d­wara Rak­ab­ganj Sahib com­plex in New Delhi.

It may be noted that the pre­sent ex­ec­u­tive com­mit­tee of the DS­GMC was dis­solved on 6 De­cem­ber, nearly 3 months prior to it com­plet­ing its full term.  Tech­ni­cally, the date was to be fixed by the Com­mis­sioner Gur­d­wara Elec­tions.

As WSN has re­ported ear­lier, hec­tic bar­gain­ing and in­ter­ven­tion by the Shi­ro­mani Akali Dal Badal is go­ing on be­hind the scenes to se­lect and then elect a mu­tu­ally ac­cept­able leader. The pre­sent stale­mate has come about be­cause of old cor­rup­tions tum­bling out of the cup­boards of the DS­GMC and the lead­er­ship tus­sle be­tween Man­jit Singh GK and Man­jin­der Singh Sirsa.

Mean­while the cases of cor­rup­tion against out­go­ing Pres­i­dent Man­jit Singh GK al­leged by DS­GMC mem­ber Gurmeet Singh Shunty, are still em­broiled in le­gal wran­gling.
