| Jandiyal Sabha rejects election of two Presidents; elections after photo voter list | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 20: The All Jandiyal Sabha has decided to prepare a photo voter list before holding elections for its President and General Secretary. A 5-member Committee has been constituted to formulate the voter list in four months.
Former President of the Sabha, Subash Jandial will head this committee. The other members of the Committee are former President, Rajeev Jandial, former General Secretary, Mohan Lal Gupta, Suresh Gupta, and Satish Jandiyal.
Announcing the decision, K B Jandial, a senior member of the Sabha said that this decision has been taken by the current Ad hoc Committee, headed by Chief Patron of All Jandiyal Sabha, Justice (Retd) K K Gupta, to resolve the issue following unauthorized and unprecedented election of two Presidents, by their handful supporters on Kartik Purnima on 5th November. These elections were held in the afternoon when most of the Biradari members including Chief Patron, most of the senior members of the Committee and other respectables had left Baba Sehejnath Ji's Devasthan after attending the annual 'mail.'
He said that regrettably, this unauthorized action was taken by some members despite the unanimous decision of the Committee taken on the eve of the 'mail' to continue with the existing arrangement of the Ad hoc Committee which has done commendable work in the last 19 months. This manipulated action of some members has brought avoidable disrepute to Jandiyal Biradari.
He said that the Committee members after examining the election of two Presidents with reference to the Constitution of the Biradari, principles of natural justice and the law, rejected the election of two Presidents held in hush hush manner. Both the elections were held, inter alia, without appointment of Returning Officer with no prior notification of election indicating time and venue of election essential to give opportunity to anyone who wishes to contest and in the absence of Chief Patron and other respectables. A formal notification has been issued in this regard.
Jandial said that the Committee could not succeed in creating consensus on the choice of the President despite prolonged efforts of Justice (Retd) K K Gupta and other well-wishers of the Biradari, and as such, it decided to first prepare a photo voter list and then hold election as per the constitution of Jandiyal Biradari. There is no voter list or list of members of the baradari in existence which can be relied upon for identification of the voters at the time of election. Hence, it is essential to prepare for elections in a democratic way. |
