Irked at the remarks of a judge of a programme, India Got Talent, on Colours TV channel, the SGPC has asked the management of the channel to tender an unconditional apology to the Sikh body and remove the judge Sajid Khan.

Sajid Khan, according to the SGPC chief Avtar Singh, had hurt the sentiments of the Sikhs by his utterances against Gatka, the Sikh martial art and the Sikh tradition of carrying arms like swords.

He had also allegedly ousted Manpreet Singh, a 7-year-old Sikh Gatka artiste, saying that the display of swords and other weapons linked with the Sikh tradition by Sikh children could instill a sense of violence among children and audience of the programme.

Gatka is an inseparable part of the Sikism. Nobody can afford to satirise about any of Sikh tradition. Gatka is also a symbol of Sikh spirit and its victory over evil. The management of the channel should tender an apology or face legal action as its programme sought to create a division in the society. The sword is part and parcel of daily life of every Amritdhari Sikh. How can a Sikh even think of living witout it, said Avtar Singh.

He asked the channel management to remove the programme judge and provide the SGPC with details of the programme.
