They alleged that nine members were misled into forming a group in order to facilitate Daduwal's nomination. "The govt wants to do kabza (take control of) the HSGMC formed by Sikhs. The govt has indirectly nominated its five members today in the HSGMC. Today is a black day for the Sikh Sangat of Haryana, which will be noted in history," the Akal Panthak Morcha said in the joint statement.
