Sarna brothers showed disrespect to Guru Granth Sahib

Delhi, India: The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) supremo and his brother are in the midst of a controversy for allegedly staying away from the holy palanquin carrying Guru Granth Sahib during Fateh March in New Delhi.

Accusing them of showing highhandedness during the occasion, many members of Sikh Sangat alleged that the management of the DSGMC showed disrespect to Guru Granth Sahib when Fateh March reached New Delhi on April 28.

“While the public welcomed the march wholeheartedly when it reached Gurdwara Moti Bagh, Gurdwara Rakab Ganj and Gurdwara Majnu Ka Tilla, neither DSGMC chief Paramjit Singh Sarna nor his brother DS Sarna came to pay obeisance to Guru Granth Sahib or welcome Panj Piyaras.

Sangat alleged that even the floor outside Gurdwara Mehroli, the martyrdom place of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, was dismantled to not let the public go inside the Gurdwara.

“The most shameful moment was when the palanquin kept standing outside Gurdwara Rakab Ganj for at least one hour. When Panj Piyaras went inside the gurdwara, they were not even accorded a welcome. Neither a siropa was presented to them nor did the Sarna brothers presented Rumala Sahib to Guru Granth Sahib,” said Onkar Singh.

He said even when Fateh March reached Gurdwara Majnu Ka Tilla, its main doors were locked and the daily evening prayer was performed much before the scheduled time. “But the determined youth performed sukhasan of Guru Granth Sahib inside the gurdwara only as the people of a task force failed to control them.”
