CHANDIGARH, Punjab—On February 14, a Sikh delegation headed by Punjab cabinet minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa met officiating Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh to ask him to intervene for ending single firm’s monopoly over live telecast of Gurbani from sanctum sanctorum Sri Harmandir Sahib.
The delegation sought availability of signal to all channels within the framework of the guidelines while citing the universal nature of Gurbani.
The delegation told Akal Takht Jathedar that it was necessary take Guru Sahib’s message to every corner of the world by free of cost rather than making it a source of money. “We shouldn’t treat Gurbani as a commodity for trading,” said the delegation.
Interacting with media, Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa informed that the Akal Takht Jathedar has patiently listened to their demand while assuring them to look into the matter.
It may be recalled here that the Congress led Punjab government had adopted a resolution on November 6 last year in this regard.
