Harish Sharma….Sikhism is a monotheistic religion. Yes, idols were placed inside Harmandir Sahib because till early 60s the Gurdwara was forcefully taken over by Mahants…..but later Sikhs fought legally and took the shrine back and removed idols.
What sacrilege , even in Amritsar there was statue of gods . Later Sikhs removed it
greedy rss display of yet another envy for Sikhs blessings
