According to Narinder Sigh, Manjinder Singh Sirsa was not able to properly recite Gurmukhi from Ang 1358 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib with proficiency and accuracy.

New Delhi: The controversy embroiling the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president Manjinder Singh Sirsa over his co-option in DSGMC as Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) nominee and his knowledge of Gurbani and Gurmukhi has refused to settle down. Jag Aasra Guru Ott (JAGO) has challenged Sirsa’s cooption and questioned his knowledge of the Punjabi language and Gurmukhi. 

SGPC chief secretary Harjinder Singh in a letter written to DSGMC on August 25 had informed that the executive committee of SGPC had authorized its president to send nomination for cooption as member of DSGMC following which the SGPC president had nominated Manjinder Singh Sirsa as nominee of SGPC for co-opting member of DSGMC.

While alleging that SGPC’s executive body had not adopted any resolution to nominate Sirsa during its September 23 meeting, former president of DSGMC and international president of JAGO party Manjit Singh GK has sought the resignation of SGPC president Jagir Kaur as well as the whole executive committee of SGPC.
