Sgpc Objects To Tytler Heading Olympic Delegation

[Azaad]

The SGPC has condemned the Union government’s move to appoint senior Congress leader Jagdish Tytler as head of the Indian delegation for London Olympics and demanded reversal of the decision.

In a strong-worded statement released here today, SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar said that appointing a person who was “involved in massacre of Sikhs” during the 1984 riots would be tantamount to adding salt to injury of the Sikh community.

Makkar claimed the move will hurt the sentiments of the Sikhs, besides tarnishing the image of the Indian democracy. He said UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi should immediately reverse the decision.

In another development, the SGPC today informed that the UP-based firm that was selling tobacco pouches by the name of Giani Paan Samagri with a photograph of Guru Nanak Dev on it had tendered an apology.

I hope the Sikh community world wide protests strongly against this decision of the indian government.

If this terrorist does come into this country, there needs to be mass protests and Sikhs need to treat it as a matter of urgency. Hope the Sikh channels will take this up.

Why is SGPC doing this and not Akal Takht?
