Closed door welcomes Jhinda

AMRITSAR(PUNJAB): In a development that might provide much fodder for strengthening the anti-SGPC stance in some quarters of Sikh community in the neighbouring state, Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (HSGPC) ad hoc president Jagdish singh Jhinda got a jolt when he found the gates of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC)-managed Bhai Gurdas Hall locked on Saturday. Jhinda had reached here to hold a press conference.

As Jhinda and mediapersons arrived at Bhai Gurdas Hall, its gates were found to have been closed by SGPC task force. A furious Jhinda, who is also a SGPC member, entered into a heated exchange with SGPC president  Avtar Singh Makkar over phone, following which Jhinda was allowed inside.

Washington, (IANS) An international Sikh group has appealed to all Sikh gurdwaras and institutions to celebrate March 14, the day Guru Har Rai became the 7th Sikh Guru in 1644 AD, as Sikh Environment Day.

EcoSikh said it has received confirmation of participation from many Sikh institutions in India and abroad. EcoSikh has also launched a website for gurdwaras and Sikh institutions to register their participation internationally.

Guru Har Rai is known to be a great humanitarian who had special sensitivity towards nature preservation and animal well being.

He maintained an extensive herbal garden for medicinal purposes for the benefit of the masses in Kiratpur Sahib, his birth place and his spiritual centre near Anandpur Sahib.
