New Delhi(02/01/2020): Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee today strongly opposed the decision of Pakistan Govt to close darshan of historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan’s Kartarpur, the final resting place of Sikh faith’s founder Guru Nanak Dev for, non-Sikh visitors for three days from Jan 3 to Jan 5, 2020 in connection with the birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Terming the decision as against the basic tenets of Sikkhism, Manjinder Singh Sirsa President DSGMC said that according to sikh religion the doors of Sikh Gurdwaras are open to every human being irrespective of religion, class, caste, gender etc and closing doors of Gurdwara Sikh Religious Place to non sikhs violates the Sikh religion principal of equality of all human beings before almighty God.
He said that DSGMC will take up matter with Paksitan Govt through External Affairs Ministry and will also organise protest march and rallies to oppose this illegal decision of Pakistan Govt. He said that pakistan govt has given logic that the place has limited facilities for pilgrims and to hold exclusive Sikh Event for sikhs of pakistan and India for celebration of birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh at the Kartarpur Complex.
