Punjab Govt`s Move To Ensure `Free Telecast Of Gurbani` Sparks Row; SGPC Says Don`t Interfere In Religious Matters

A recent announcement made by Punjab’s CM..Bhagwant Mann has given rise to a controversy..and has pitted him against the powerful Sikh religious body..the SGPC…or the Shorimani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee. The controversy is related to amending the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925. In this video, we tell you about this SIKH GURUDWARA ACT, 1925…and why a proposed amendment in it has raised eyebrows. SIKH GURUDWARA ACT, 1925, is an Act that governs the functioning of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee which manages at least 100 gurdwaras in Punjab, including Harmandar Sahib…and also allots rights for telecast of Gurbani. This aspect of provision of rights for telecast is at the centre of the controversy. #Gurbanicontroversy #Bhagwantmann #Sikhgurdwaraact ~PR.153~ED.101~HT.178~

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann says that Gurbani is everyone's right and it should be telecast free of cost.
