The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) will release a revised Nanakshahi calendar for the next year, beginning from March 14. The radicals have, however, decided to stick to the old one.
The changes proposed by the SGPC had been vehemently opposed by a large section of Sikhs had who favoured the calendar released in 2003.
SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar said they have ordered printing of the new calendar after making the required changes. It will soon be distributed among public.
He said the decision was taken after long discussions and the changes were approved by the Akal Takht.
“We will release the new calendar at a simple but impressive function at the Golden Temple complex on Sunday,” said Makkar.
On the other hand, radical Sikh bodies including Dal Khalsa, Khalsa Action Committee and Shiromani Panthic Council (SPC) have vowed to stick to the old calendar. They had been opposing the move to change the calendar.
