Renu questions new election
Balbir Singh Renu, who was elected as Pradhan Sevadar in the election held on April 16 this year, questioned the validity of the latest election. He stated that the election held on Wednesday was improperly called by the Gurudwara Manager, who is merely an employee and not a Trustee or a court-appointed Administrator. Therefore, he has no authority to conduct elections. Renu further claimed that the election process did not adhere to the registered Bylaws or the Common Draft Scheme approved by the Charity Court, Nagpur.
He also pointed out that during the legitimate elections on April 16, the majority of members abstained from Wednesday’s vote, including the former President of the Gurudwara, who had issued a notice stating that the Manager lacked the authority to hold elections.
“I am confident that justice will prevail and a legitimate body will soon be approved by the Deputy Charity Commissioner, Nagpur, who is efficiently handling matters concerning Gurudwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha, Kamptee Road,” Renu said.
