Just a shame that not all the invited guests were treated well.

Shoddy treatment to dignitaries

Amritsar, September 1

The spiritual leader of Tibet, his Holiness, the Dalai Lama, the Governor of Haryana, Mr A.R. Kidwai, and the great grandson of Sufi Saint Baba Farid, Nawab Habib Jung Bahadur, were today meted out shoddy treatment by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), organisers of the historic Guru Granth Sahib’s 400th year of installation.

No one from the SGPC was on hand to receive the Dalai Lama and the Governor of Haryana when they arrived to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple this morning.

The Dalai Lama was received by some lowly SGPC officials and taken around the Temple. Even later at a function in New Amritsar, his name was announced by the former SGPC chief, Bibi Jagir Kaur, for presentation of a siropa, but it was not presented.

The direct descendant of Baba Farid suffered the worst ignominy when he was not allowed to enter the pandal erected specially for the concluding ceremony of the quardicentennial celebrations held at New Amritsar township this afternoon.

Nawab Habib Jung Bahadur talking to The Tribune expressed deep anguish at the poor arrangements to escort the dignitaries who had been invited by the SGPC to address the august gathering. Nawab Jung Bahadur said he was the personal guest of Andhra Pradesh Governor Surjit Singh Barnala and had been escorted by his personal staff.

Yes thats true but if you are inviting heads of other faiths like the Dalai Lama then at least be civil and hospitable to such guests rather than ignoring them.
