'Sikh sentiments hurt': Gurdwara body questions protesters for intrusion into premises

'Sikh sentiments hurt': Gurdwara body questions protesters for intrusion into premises

The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara management committee (DSGMC) has expressed concern over protesters intruding into Gurdwara Bangla Sahib during recent demonstrations, stating that the incident hurt Sikh sentiments. DSGMC president Harmeet Singh Kalka alleged that protesters entered the premises with placards and attempted to force their way into a hall, but were stopped by gurdwara staff.

Kalka emphasized that Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is a sacred institution for prayer and relief, and protests are not permitted. He also criticized the presence of police personnel in uniform at the shrine, describing it as intolerable. Kalka accused AAP leaders of politicizing the episode and warned that the gurdwara cannot be used as a venue for demonstrations.
