AMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—On June 10, merely four days after the 33rd anniversary of June 1984 holocaust, the Vice President of Congress Rahul Gandhi paid obeisance at the holiest Sikh shrine Sri Harmandir Sahib. The visit is being portrayed as his personal visit and not aimed on political gains.
After traversing the periphery of Sri Harmandir Sahib, he offered ‘Karah Prasad’ and stood in queue avoiding VIP entry facility to pay obeisance inside the sanctum sanctorum.
When he paid obeisance inside the sanctum sanctorum, the appointed Granthi inside the sanctum sanctorum didn’t offer Siropao (robe of honour) to Rahul Gandhi keeping in view the demolition carried out by Indian army at the behest of his grandmother Indira Gandhi.
After coming out of the sanctum sanctorum, the Congress vice president paid obeisance at the supreme Sikh throne Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
The appointed Granthi is being criticized for his biased approach as he had himself tendered Siropao (robe of honour) to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit. The SGPC President Prof. Kirpal Singh Badungar is however backing the Granthi Singh. Prof. Badungar told Sikh24 that Rahul Gandhi had been shielding the perpetrators of 1984 Sikh genocide due to which the SGPC would never commit such a grand mistake of honouring him.
Harish there are few THEOLOGICAL differences like
1) No caste in Sikhism
2) God Ram is a King and not GOD
3) No to idol worship

I think Hindus should stay away from this whatever Granth sahib thing
The Gandhi family is an EMPIRES supported family.
Any one messing with the family will be dealt in a manner that EMPIRE deals with rebels.
It is under the protection of EMPIRE.
Please feel free .
Harish worship where you feel like.
Hindus should stop going to gurudwaras . We don’t belong to them anymore . Go to that place where you get respect . So avoid going to any Sikh places and Sikh functions and even delete any what’s app message that give message of sikhi . I delete them right away self bragging messages . Try not to do any Buisness with them
Anymore? You never ‘belonged’ in the first place. What respect should people who create and sustain the caste system receive?
Sikhi was created, by God, because of the unrighteous nature of that system. Even Muslims are afforded more respect than Hindus in Sikhi – ‘the musalman is one-eyed, the Hindu is blind’.
And yet, the writings of righteous Hindus are added to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji – although those Hindus were really following Sikhi ;-)
This is a rubbish political issues. Giving seropa to some one not to other Is unfair. In every religion it is said that every person is equal and also forgiving is good to make them realise. In Sikhism the equality of people is maintained hence rich and poor sit on floor and eat in one roof. Whatever happened at Harmandir Sahib is a disgrace. I think every person is equal at God’s door step. I request people not to take this issue on a political stage. Their is no Hindu Muslim Sikh and Christian it is Humanism which leads to be a good Human. I wish every person in this world understand this.
I think Hindus should stop going to golden temple . We are tired of secularism .go to Hindu temples that belongs to you . Even we go and bow in golden temple . Still they will hate us . So decision is all yours . I used to go there . But recently I visited Amritsar . I went to hall bazar . But I did not go there . We should make our mind and stop going there to feel any humility in future
They will not hate you, as in you hindus. But they might hate you individually, as in you harish the anti-sikh (but still is infatuated and drawn to sikhs because he, harish, has a secret crush on them and he recognizes whats real.)
Please feel free Harish.
No one is compelling any one to come to Golden Temple.
It is absolutely voluntary.
YES NEVER EVER GIVE A SIROPA TO A BUTT HURT LOSER WHO HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR SOCIETY …. EVIL RAHUL GANDHI THE SON OF EVIL SIKH GENOCIDE PLANNER RAJIV GANDHI DOES NOT DESERVE ANY HONOUR AND WE DONT LIKE THEM AND THEY SHOULD BURN IN HELL LIKE KPS GILL AND INDIRA GANDHI! JAI HIND!
Miss Kaur I’d don’t want Genocides to happen to us then don’t Rebel against Nations or its Constitution.
Are you saying all Nations and their Constitutions are righteous? If so, you are either a liar, a fool or naïve.
Sikhs stood against Indira Gandhi when she tried to create a dictatorship
The constitution can be changed so that no one person can become an Dictator.
How ever picking up arms against state or its people will lead to events like
1) Blue Stars
2) Genocides
3) Extra Judicial Killings
why we all are making it a big issue…. first of all Siropa as said is robe of honour… nd hence it should be given to someone who has done somthing great for panth…. nd not to anyone so causually… bt we hav made this thing very common…. any vip visiting darbar sahib is honoured by giving siropa.. bt why…. doesnt mattr if its modi or gandhi or badal no one should be honoured by offering siropa.. until he has done smthing very beneficial for the panth
Holding a grudge does not make you strong.
It makes you bitter.
Forgiving does not make you weak.
It sets you free.

Harinder if you know any part of history Sikhs are the most forgiving community in this woorld.No Sikh has kept grudge against any community but fighting against injustice is the core belief of our religion and thats what we are doing. As mentioned above Siropas should be given only to those people who have done something worthy and not to every tom, dick and harry.Also no one stopped Rahul Gandhi to go into the Gurudwara.
Prof kirpal singh ji .. he was right by refusing to offer Siropao to Rahul gandhi being a member of the killer family but was wrong in offering it to modi being a staunch member of the terrorist org. Rss an anti sikh outfit of fanatics fascists etc. Bjp rss had an active hand in the pogroms during 80’s and annihilation of sikhs. Since 10 years of bjp akali rule in panjab executed a silent genocide through drugs which has wiped out one more generation of sikhs ..
We need to learn to forgive even if not sought.
He was not responsible for the 1980-90 events.
Golden Temple welcomes all I believe.
Nobody stopped him from entering and paying respect for his “non-political” visit. As you said, Golden Temple welcomes all, and he was allowed inside. Whats your issue?
