Punjab CM Seeks Free Telecast Rights Of Gurbani, Committee Opposes

The AAP-led Punjab government's move to amend the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925 to ensure ''free telecast rights of Gurbani'' from the Golden Temple has triggered a massive row. On June 18, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the apex religious body for Sikhs, has reacted sharply to the move, asking the government ''not to interfere in religious matters.'' Notably, the Punjab CM will table the resolution in the cabinet meeting.
