SGPC chief’s appeal to Sikhs on census

Anandpur Sahib, Punjab: SGPC president said today that all Sikhs should mention themselves as just Sikhs in the ongoing census.

SGPC appealed that no Sikh should mention his or her sub-caste in the census. It is an appeal to all Sikhs to mention their mother tongue as Punjabi. The census will then shed light on the exact details of numbers of Sikhs in the country.

Condemning the suspension of the Anandpur Sahib – Amritsar rail project, he said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should intervene into the issue. “Being a Sikh, the PM should take up the matter on priority basis. After all, it’s the issue of connectivity between two Takhts,” the SGPC chief added.

Commenting on the allegations of the saffronisation of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur’s tercentenary celebrations, he said the event was meant at bringing people of all walks of life together.
