Demolished Gurdwaras As Important For Sikhs As Ram Temple For Hindus: Giani Harpreet Singh

                              Gurdwara Gian Godri (Haridwar)

Finally, Giani Harpreet Singh, the SGPC-appointed acting jathedar of Akal Takht, broke silence on the issue of Ram Temple being constructed in Ayodhya on Friday, stating, “The place where Ram Temple is being built up is important for Hindus. Equally important are the Gurdwaras for Sikhs, which were demolished in India.”

                       Gurdwara Dangmar Sahib (Sikkim) 

                        Gurdwara Mangu Mutt (Puri)

In a message shared with Sikh24, he said, “I congratulate Hindu society for construction of Ram Temple, but I would like to say that Gurdwara Gian Godri (Haridwar), Gurdwara Dangmar Sahib (Sikkim) and Gurdwara Mangu Mutt (Puri) are as important and sacred places for Sikhs as Ram Temple for Hindus.”

 He urged the union government of India to pay heed toward these Gurdwaras and demanded them be restored so that Sikh could restart age-old Maryada there. He said these are sacred places for the Sikhs as these were visited by Guru Nanak Sahib, founder of the Sikh religion.
