SGPC: Refrain from smear campaign against Sikhs
Amritsar, January 30
SGPC chief Jagir Kaur has warned the Centre against using the “stray incident” of hoisting Nishan Sahib at the Red Fort to smear the Sikh community as it may lead to communal disharmony.
After distributing scholarships worth Rs 1.31 crore among 2,636 Amritdhari students today, she said Nishan Sahib had been part of the Republic Day parade in the past and it was the same community that took on marauding invaders holding the Nishan Sahib.
Urging the Centre to accept the farmers’ demand, she accused it of creating trouble to disturb communal harmony to end the stir. — TNS
