NEW YORK: After facing years of internal power struggles and a court ruling, members of the Sikh community have voted to elect new leaders of one of the largest gurdwaras in the U.S. A total of 6,802 registered voters queued outside the San Jose gurdwara in California, Mercury News reported.
The election was ordered by a superior court judge to resolve the issue between two Sikh factions with different agendas. "The people are showing up to speak their minds again. This is a good day for everyone here," Summan Tersen Singh, an applied materials technician, was quoted as saying.
