Chandigarh: Within days of establishing the elected body, tensions have emerged between the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee manned trust, which manages the Miri-Piri group of institutions, including the medical college at Kurukshetra.
The war of words between the two Sikh bodies intensified after the executive body of the HSGMC, led by president Jagdish Singh Jhinda, former president Baljit Singh Daduwal, and other executive members, visited the medical college site in Shahabad Markanda. This was followed by a meeting with the Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini.
During their visit to the medical college, Jhinda and Baljit Singh Daduwal asked the local management to hand over control to the HSGMC as the premises were established on the land of Gurdwara Mastgarh Sahib.
"During their tenure, the SGPC created a private trust and raised the building of the said medical college on the land owned by Gurdwara Sahib. Now, with the implementation of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Act 2014, all the gurughars are under the control of the HSGMC. According to the act, the movable and immovable assets on gurughars and their land are now under the control of the HSGMC. Since the Badal family created a family trust to manage this institute, we have termed this as illegal and initiated the process to acquire the same in accordance with the provisions of the Act," said Baljit Singh Daduwal.

"The college has 100 medical seats, but no infrastructure. Once we manage the affairs, we shall put everything in place systematically. We have brought this to the notice of the CM as well as the govt and have sought their support," said Daduwal.
When contacted, Sukhminder Singh, secretary of the trust managing the Miri Piri group of institutions, categorically dismissed the claims of the HSGMC. "Firstly, the issue related to this institution is under litigation and the court has imposed a stay. They can download the orders from the website and get those vetted by the govt as well as their legal team. Let them get the stay vacated and take directions from the court," said Sukhminder Singh.
