On July 6, Ludhiana
based MLA cum SGPC member Balwinder Singh Bains lodged a complaint to the
Amritsar Police Commissioner demanding investigation into the missing saroops
of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
Interacting with media
after lodging complaint, Balwinder Singh Bains said that the then SGPC’s
executive committee didn’t hold any remorse prayer while cremating the damaged
saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Goindwal Sahib in May-2016. “The actual number
of damaged saroops was also kept hidden deliberately by the SGPC,” he added. It
is pertinent to note here that 267 saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji have
been found missing from the SGPC’s publication department.
The incident came to
fore when assistant supervisor Kanwaljit Singh got retired in May this year.
Kanwaljit Singh has claimed that he was forced to issue holy saroops of Sri
Guru Granth Sahib Ji without making entries in the record books.
He has also
claimed that more than 80 holy saroops got burnt in fire incident occurred at
Gurdwara Ramsar Sahib in May-2016 while the SGPC disclosed damage of only 14.
However, the SGPC is accusing Kanwaljit Singh of negligence in his duties, but
the SGPC’s accusation comes under suspicion because the latter is ready to let
go Kanwaljit Singh just by recovering the cost of missing saroops.
Last month,
Amritsar Police Commissioner Sukhchain Singh Gill had marked an enquiry into
this incident to the Deputy Commissioner of Police.
