After letter from Gurdwara Committee to SGPC, Advocate Dhami appeals Uttarakhand Chief Minister
Amritsar, April 24- The President of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami, taking notice of the harassment of the local Gurdwara management committee in the murder case of Baba Tarsem Singh at Gurdwara Sri Nanakmatta Sahib, has appealed to Chief Minister (CM) of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, to stop the harassment of Gurdwara committee by the police administration and to understand the sentiments of Sikhs.
He said that the murder of Baba Tarsem Singh is certainly painful, but it is not right to target the President of the elected Gurdwara committee and the gurdwara management in this case. He asked the Uttarakhand CM to stop the actions of the police administration to harass and disturb the management committee of the historical Gurdwara Nanakmatta Sahib.
The SGPC President said that the majority of the members of the management committee of Gurdwara Sri Nanakmatta Sahib have jointly written a letter to the SGPC and expressed their apprehension that the government is trying to take control of the management of the Gurdwara Sahib in lieu of Baba Tarsem Singh’s murder case.
“If it is so, the Sikh community will not tolerate such tactics. The elected management committee of Gurdwara Sri Nanakmatta Sahib is the expression of the sentiments of the Sangat, in which government intervention should be stopped immediately. No innocent person should be harassed in Baba Tarsem Singh murder case”, said Harjinder Singh Dhami.
The SGPC President said that constitutionally, being the CM of Uttarakhand state, it is the responsibility of the chief minister to understand the seriousness of the Sikh issues and immediately order that any leader of the management committee of Gurdwara Sri Nanakmatta Sahib should not be harassed unnecessarily.
