After the Delhi High Court’s strong order holding the current management guilty of contempt for not paying teachers’ dues, Delhi Akali Dal chief Paramjit Singh Sarna has launched a scathing attack on DSGMC president Harmeet Singh Kalka and his team. In a strongly worded statement, Sarna accused Kalka, his de facto chief MS Sirsa and his associates of “betraying the teachers who shape the future of our children” and misusing the DSGMC platform to suppress legal rights. Sarna said the latest order of the High Court has unmasked their faces in Kalka, Sirsa and DSGMC. They are guilty of betraying our teachers – not only in the eyes of the law but also in front of the entire Sikh community. Kalka and the DSGMC general secretary have been held guilty of wilful contempt for violating a 2021 court order directing payment of 6th and 7th Central Pay Commission dues to teachers and staff of schools run by Guru Harkrishan Public School Society. The court has also ordered a forensic audit and valuation of DSGMC and GHPS properties to recover dues of Rs 400 crore. Sarna pointed to the court’s finding that Kalka’s team had forced teachers to waive their dues and issued false promises to delay action. He said these were not just administrative blunders but Kalka and his gang had offered fake promises, blackmailed teachers to silence them, and now cried helplessly while clinging to power. Sarna declared that every inch of land owned by DSGMC belongs to the community – it should not be used to hide or flatter the ego of failed leaders. He demanded that the properties of Sirsa, Kalka and their gang be auctioned for payment of dues instead of selling DSGMC properties meant for service. Sarna said it was time for Kalka and his group to step aside. They have lost moral authority, they have lost legal ground, and they have lost the trust of the people. DSGMC was never a haven for the corrupt – it was meant to be a bastion of service. The Delhi High Court has fixed July 10 for the next hearing of the matter, where the quantum of punishment and compliance progress will be reviewed.
