Canada’s Indian-origin Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan on Thursday paid obeisance at the Golden Temple here where he was presented with a robe of honour.

He reached the holy Sikh shrine shortly after 6 am and spent around 15 minutes inside its sanctum sanctorum.

Wearing a grey turban and a white shirt, Sajjan took a round of the complex and spent over an hour on its premises.

SGPC president Kripal Singh was also present when the minister reached the shrine.

There was a minor clash between SAD (A) members and SGPC task force when they tried to gain access to hand over a memorandum to Sajjan. Pro-Khalistan slogans were raised. Jarnail Singh Sakhira, general secretary of SAD (A), claimed that he had received bruises on his hand.
