Mohali The Sikh community has sought a thorough probe into the alleged sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib, recently reported from Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib in Anandpur Sahib.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, SGPC member Hardeep Singh said two distorted birs-Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth-in one binding is being seen as a deep-rooted conspiracy.

“These birs contain 2830 and 2858 pages respectively, where as the authentic Guru Granth Sahib contains 1430 pages,” said Singh while adding that any addition or alteration in the holy book is considered as an act of sacrilege.

Terming it as “anti-Sikh” and intolerable, Singh has sent a representation to SGPC president, demanding a probe by Sikh scholars and SGPC members into the matter.
