Chandigarh, Nov 06: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee(SGPC) member Tarlochan Singh Dupalpur today extended his support to the seven-member committee, formed by SAD (B) rebel Mal Singh Ghuman, for the cause of a consensus candidate in the SGPC presidential polls on November 12.
Addressing a press conference here, Dupalpur said he had been held as captive, along with several other SGPC members, by SAD president Parkash Singh Badal at a farmhouse of Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala.
''I was forced not to move out of the farmhouse which was guarded by Haryana police cops,'' he said, adding that the farmhouse was in Haryana.
Significantly, Badal has been maintaining that the SGPC members had come to him for shelter on their own due to the ''harassment'' they faced by the Congress government in Punjab, which he alleged had been supporting the Sarb Hind Shiromani Akali Dal (SHSAD) of Gurcharan Singh Tohra.
