A meeting of the Executive Committee (EC) of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) was held today at the SGPC office here under the leadership of its President, Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami. During the meeting, a condemnation resolution was passed regarding the derogatory remarks made recently by former Delhi Chief Minister (CM) and Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi about the Sikh Gurus, and a decision was taken to initiate strict action against her.
SGPC President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the use of derogatory language about the Sikh Gurus by an elected representative during an ongoing session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly has hurt Sikh sentiments. He stated that legal action would be taken against the Aam Aadmi Party leader for displaying a deplorable mindset.
Besides this, the SGPC also appreciated the achievement of six students of the Nishchay Administrative Services Training Academy, run to prepare Sikh students for competitive examinations, for qualifying the preliminary PCS examination. Appreciation was also expressed for a student of Nishchay Academy of Judicial Services, Bahadurgarh, Patiala, who cleared the Law Officer examination conducted by the Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board. Advocate Dhami said that the SGPC has consistently endeavoured to ensure that Sikh students qualify competitive examinations and reach high positions so that they can work for the welfare of society in accordance with the Guru’s blessed principles.
