Martyer Gurtej Singh
Amritsar: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC)
has urged the Punjab government to include stories of the bravery of baptised
Sikh soldier, Gurtej Singh in the school curriculum. Hailing the valour of
Sepoy Gurtej who achieved martyrdom at the age of 23 with 19 other soldiers
during the stand-off with Chinese troops at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in
Ladakh, SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal said inclusion of the martyr’s
acts of courage in the school curriculum would inspire students.
Acting on the directions of Akal Takht, SGPC has also constituted a sub-committee to investigate allegations of Punjab Human Rights Organisation on saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib going missing from SGPC’s publication wing.
After addressing a gathering of the SGPC
dharam parchar committee, Longwowal said they would take stern action against
anyone found guilty on the basis of the sub-committee report. The sub-committee
comprises Golden Temple granthi Giani Maan Singh, SGPC general secretary
Harjinder Singh Dhami, SGPC executive committee members Surjit Singh Kang and
Jagsir Singh Mangaeana, SGPC members Gurtej Singh and Sarwan Singh Kalar and
additional secretary Simarjit Singh (coordinator). The sub committee’s report
would be submitted with acting jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh, said
Longowal.
