DSGMC: Delegation Meeting With Ministry of External Affairs To Raise Issue of Non-Sikh Management Committee of Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara


High level delegation of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee met the Ministry of External Affairs led by Manjinder Singh Sirsa and raised the issue of managing Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib to non-Sikh Committee.

  

New Delhi, 5 November: A high-level delegation of DSGMC under the leadership of  Mr.Manjinder Singh Sirsa,President DSGMC met with Ministry of External Affairs to took up the matter of handing over the Project Management Unit (Non-Sikh Committee) of the historic Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib by Government of Pakistan.



Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that it is strange how Government of Pakistan under Evacuee Trust Propriety Board (ETPB) has handed over the management to a non-Sikh committee which has no knowledge of Sikh Rahat dignity.



Manjinder Singh Sirsa told Mr. JP Singh, Joint Secretary in the External Affairs Ministry and in-charge of Pakistan DASK, that Pakistan Governments's strategy of discrimination,persecution and terror is being created among the minorities repeatedly

Earlier this management used to look after the four-member committee of ETPB with the presence of Mahindrapal Singh, Gopal Chawla, Ravi Kumar and Sunnenala Route. Now they were excluded from ETPB and non-Sikhs are included. 

Government of Pakistan is telling that Gurdwara is business models  which is completely  wrong and not acceptable.

We strongly condemn this decision of the Government of Pakistan as it is a direct intervention in the case of Gurdwaras which is a very sensitive matter for Sikh Community.

He appealed to the ministry to  take care of the sentiments of Sikh Community. Matter should be immediately taken up and  management of Gurudwara Shri Kartarpur Sahib should again  be handed over to the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Committee .

Apart from the others, Gurudwara Committee General Secretary Harmeet Singh Kalka, Senior Vice President Bibi Ranjit Kaur, Joint Secretary Harvinder Singh KP, Advisor Paramjit Singh Chandok were also present on the occasion.
