Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee filed a complaint along with the Delhi Police against AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, AAP MLAs/workers and others regarding the incident at the premises of Gurdwara Sri Bangla Sahib during the protests.
If anyone wishes to protest, they should do so outside Parliament or in front of those against whom they are fighting,” he said. It is absolutely intolerable for police in uniform to traverse the Gurudwara grounds, as this is not a public thoroughfare,” he said. We will sit down and discuss this; the atmosphere there has been tense for the last few days, and while we don’t want any untoward incidents in such a climate, this matter must be dealt with strictly,” he said.
Kalka stressed that demonstrations should not be held inside gurdwaras, adding that those wishing to protest should choose appropriate locations, such as outside Parliament or near the people against whom they were demonstrating. “One may offer prayers inside the Gurudwara, but protests are not permitted. The DSGMC chief also expressed concern over uniformed police personnel moving through the gurdwara complex, saying their presence had hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community. He clarified, however, that the police had not entered the Darbar Sahib, the main prayer hall. “The sight of police personnel walking through the Gurudwara premises hurts the hearts of the Sikh community. “We are fully examining the CCTV footage and will address the issue regarding the protesters specifically, how they managed to enter the Gurdwara premises to stage a protest.
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president Harmeet Singh Kalka on Sunday condemned an attempt to stage a protest inside Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, saying it had hurt Sikh sentiments.
