Sgpc To Take Up Key Sikh Issues During Pm Modi’S Amritsar Visit

Amritsar, March 21

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi all set to visit the holy city on Monday, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is gearing up to take up a host of issues related to the Sikh community with him.

Sources said these issues included racist attacks on the Sikhs in countries such as the USA. The SGPC would urge the PM to utilise the government’s diplomatic channels with the countries concerned, so that the Sikhs don’t face problems emerging out of mistaken identity and security barriers. Besides, it would also take up the issue of ban on wearing turban and ‘kirpan’ in countries like France.

Sources said the SGPC would also urge Modi to look into its demand for the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor connecting Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur with the historic Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan. The gurdwara holds great significance for Sikhs as Guru Nanak Dev spent the last 18 years of his life there. The distance between Dera Baba Nanak and Kartarpur Sahib is a meagre 3 km and Sikhs have for long been demanding unrestricted access to the historic shrine through a visa-free corridor connecting the two places. The SGPC would also request the government to facilitate a Pakistan visa centre in Amritsar. The move would be of great help to the Sikhs visiting historic shrines in the neighbouring country, as currently they get visa for Pakistan from New Delhi.

Issues at hand

• Problems faced by Sikhs due to hate crimes and ban on religious gears in foreign countries
• Demand for visa-free corridor connecting Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur and Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan
• Request for a visa centre for Pakistan in Amritsar
• Need for a subsidised LPG supply for ‘langar’ facility at the Golden Temple Complex

Youth Akali Dal leader writes to Modi

Jalandhar: Two days ahead of PM Narendra Modi’s visit to the state, Youth Akali Dal vice-president JS Garhdiwala has written to him and expressed resentment over reduction of Rs32,104 crore in the schemes meant for the SC/ST community across the country. As the post-matric scholarship meant for SC/ST students was one of the key schemes to be funded by this budget, the reduction in allocation would affect the progress of these communities, he stated. — TNS

Could also add November 1984 Sikh Genocide, justice for Chattisinghpora massacre, Article 25 of the Indian Constitution etc.

Who cares if he bows before SGGS? Who is he? He is another person, just like anyone else.

Did Guru Amar Das Ji make a massive fuss when Akhbar came to visit him? No, he treated him like the rest of the sangat, he made him sit with the sangat and eat langar.

Why do we get so happy when a politican, celebrity or singer goes to a gurdwara? They should be happy for getting the chance to bow before SGGS.

What do you expect from Badal? Bandar destroying Punjab.
