SGPC to approach Akal Takht if Pb govt fails to send representatives for next meeting
The SGPC on Saturday said if the Punjab government does not send its representative again for the next coordination committee meeting to finalise the Guru Nanak Dev's 550th birth anniversary celebration programme in November, it would broach the issue with the Akal Takht.
The apex gurdwara body threatened to approach the Sikhs' highest temporal seat, saying it would be the third time if the state government fails to send its two requisite representatives to the next meeting slated on September 17 in Amritsar.
The government's representatives had earlier failed to attend the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee's meetings on August 14 and September 6.
We have written to the chief minister to send their two representatives to attend the next coordination committee meeting on September 17, SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal said on Saturday.
We will approach the Akal Takht's jathedar for necessary directions if the state government again fails to send its representatives, Longowal .
