Gurdwara Gian Godri: Sikh bodies to stage dharna for shrine land

JALANDHAR: A number of Sikh organizations have announced to stage a dharna outside the BJP head office in New Delhi on December 20, to express their displeasure against the Uttarakhand government "inaction" on the issue of historic Gurdwara Gian Godri in Haridwar.

Addressing a press conference here, Panthic Sewa Lehar head Sant Baljit Singh Daduwal, Khalsa Action Committee convener Mohkam Singh and SGPC member Kulbir Singh Barapind said the historic gurdwara, which marked the visit of first Sikh master Guru Nanak to Haridwar over 450 years back, was demolished during anti-Sikh riots in 1984.

"Sikh organizations and activists have been requesting the Uttrakhand government to restore the gurdwara land to them so that the shrine could be reconstructed. However, despite several pleas and enough historical evidence, and revenue records, to prove the presence of gurdwara, the BJP government of Uttrakhand was only offering land at some other place in the city," they said.

"How can the historical place be shifted? Although there was a large area attached to the gurdwara, we are only demanding back the main area, where the gurdwara stood. It (area) measures only a few hundred square feet, but the BJP government has been stonewalling our pleas," said Sant Daduwal.

Alleging failure on the part of Akal Takht jathedar and SGPC to take a lead in the matter, Mohkam Singh added, "They (Jathedar and SGPC president) always claim that they have a complete authority on Sikh affairs."
