Amritsar: Strongly opposing the move to suppress minorities in India, including the Sikhs, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex body controlling gurdwaras, passed a resolution condemning the alleged moves made by the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) to make the country a “Hindu rashtra”.
It also called on the Central government to work for the protection of the rights and freedom of religion of all religions instead of being “ready to implement the efforts initiated by the RSS”. All those elements which try to suppress the minorities should be punished, the resolution sought.
CHANDIGARH, PunjabâAs the one-sided ban on the Kartarpur corridor today entered into the second year, SGPC appointed officiating Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh released a video message asking the Indian government to reopen this historic corridor for the Sikhs.
Notably, the Kartarpur corridor has been lying closed since March 16 last year due to restrictions imposed by the Indian government under the garb of preventive measures against Covid-19.
“The prayers of the Sikh community had borne fruit last year with the construction of Kartarpur corridor and thousands of Sikhs paid obeisance at historic Sikh shrine Gurdwara Sri Kartarpur Sahib via this corridor,” he said.
