Forcing Sikh students to perform Hindu rituals is an attack on Sikhism, says SGPC

CHANDIGARH, Punjab—The apex Sikh body Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhik Committee has taken a strong notice of the forceful imposition of Hindu rituals on Sikh students in Mata Jai Kaur Public School situated in Ashok Vihar of India’s national capital Delhi. Notably, the Sikh students in Mata Jai Kaur Public School were forced to perform “Aarti of Lakshmi Mata” while the basic ethos of their inherent religion.

Terming the incident as an attack on Sikhism, the SGPC’s chief secretary Dr. Roop Singh has said that this is an extremely sensitive issue and we have written to the DSGMC to investigate the matter.

Dr. Roop Singh further said that the Sikhism has its own rituals and code of conduct so any attempt to mix it with Hinduism can’t be tolerated at any cost.

“What could be worse than it that the educational institutions, which are meant to infuse discipline in students, are violating the discipline itself,” he added.
