Amritsar, December 29
The state government’s move to ‘utilise’ Amritsar’s world-famous Heritage Street as an advertisement platform for its ‘achievements’ featuring CM Charanjit Singh Channi has irked the SGPC.
This multi-crore street is visited by over one lakh local, domestic and foreign tourists as it leads to the Golden Temple from the century-old Town Hall.
The SGPC has entrusted the responsibility of approaching the office of the CM to its secretary to lodge a protest. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said the screens on the street were installed to exclusively broadcast Gurbani. “But the Congress government has been using them for its own publicity and political interests, which has been hurting the sentiments of pilgrims who come up with a spiritual mindset to the Golden Temple. The government should stop its publicity on these screens and immediately start Gurbani kirtan there,” he said. — TNS
