Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh has taken a serious note of repeated instances of sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib in the recent past.
In a statement released here, the Jathedar has asked the SGPC and the DSGMC to check the antecedents of those availing the “birs” of Guru Granth Sahib and provide the “birs” as per the requirement only.
He said there had been incidents of “birs” of Guru Granth Sahib getting burnt in the past which had hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community. He said it was the duty of the gurdwara management, granthis and the Sikh Sangat to ensure that no sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib takes place. He said if any such instance came to light in future, the management and the granthi of the concerned gurdwara would be held responsible.
