SGPC ordered probe after allegations that ritual protocols were violated
All members of the managing committee of the Gurdwara Sri Nanak Mata in Uttarakhand have resigned amid allegations of violation of Sikh maryada (code of conduct) during Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami’s recent visit to the gurdwara. The Chief Minister had visited the gurdwara, earlier this week, where a programme to welcome him was organised by the managing committee. During the event a dance performance by children was held and the recitation of the ‘gurbani’ was also reportedly interrupted. Following the allegation, a three-member committee of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) — the body responsible for the management of Gurdwaras — was sent to investigate the incident to the Gurdwara Nanakmata on the directions of Akal Takht, the highest Sikh temporal seat.More Related News
