Guwahati: A clarification was provided by a representative of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) after a video showing a woman being refused access to the Golden Temple in Punjab went viral on social media.
SGPC General Secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal said, “This is Sikh shrine. Every religious place has its own decorum… We welcome everyone… We apologize if an official misbehaved… The flag on her face was not our national flag as it didn’t have Ashoka Chakra… It could have been a political flag.”
Notably, a video of a woman being refused admittance into the renowned Amritsar Gurudwara because she had the tricolour painted on her face is going viral on social media.
The man denying her entry was heard saying, “This is Punjab, not India.”
