Bureau Report: The Punjab Vidhan Sabha has passed ‘The Sikh Gurdwara Amendment Act 2023’. Aam Aadmi Party MLA Principal Buddha Ram introduced the bill which was opposed by Akali Dal and BSP, Akali Dal MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali cited the order of Sri Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh to the government and Requested SGPC to solve it together. Responding to this, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann also claimed that SGPC is now playing a trick to cover up the matter by taking over a channel of PTC.
Why did not listen to Gyani Harpreet Singh?
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann asked that when the then Jathedar Shri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Harpreet Singh had instructed the SGPC to start its channels a year ago, why the committee has not started till now. Jathedars do not appeal, they give orders. It is necessary for every Sikh. Why didn’t SGPC agree at that time, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami told. The Chief Minister stressed that it has been 12 years since the SGPC elections were held, the current committee is executive, until yesterday those who were removing the executive Jathedar are themselves executive.
Playing the game through ‘PTC Simran’
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann made another claim and said that now the PTC Simran channel is starting to be given to the SGPC. The report has come to me, now it will be told that SGPC has opened its channel, it will remain in the same house. They have to take money with them, have they talked about religion with the state? Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that after July 21, whichever channel you install, you will get Gurbani. In other countries, we can listen to Gurbani through audio while traveling on a truck. Maan said that they have no objection on the audio but on the video because they have possession of it.
‘How PTC Makes Money’
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami and PTC says we are free to air while the story behind it is something else. Actually PTC has EXCLUSIVE rights. Am I the owner of this content? Canada, America, Australia If you want to broadcast Gurbani, you have to take a package of 3 to 4 channels of PTC which costs 54 dollars. Every Sikh has to give it because he has to listen to Gurbani. This increases the TRP of the channel, through which advertisers come. They want to earn money through intellectual property rights. Chief Minister Mann also responded to the allegation of SGPC President Dhami, in which it was said that if Gurbani is made free, there will be a flood of cameras, he said that there will be only 2 to 3 cameras. Any channel can telecast Gurbani through free feed, as there are no cameras in the channels for light telecast of Vidhansabha, Vidhansabha gives the feed to the channel.
‘Supreme Court gave us rights’
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said the Supreme Court while recognizing the Haryana Gurdwara Act 2014 and dismissing the SGPC’s petition said that the state government has the right to form a new Gurdwara Management Committee under Section 28. In which it is said that the state government can make laws according to the concrete list. This is an act of the state, Dhami Sahib is a lawyer, I have doubts about him, SGPC itself has come to the Supreme Court defeated. According to the concrete list, the government can take a decision about charitable and religious institutions. According to 125 A which we have added in the new act, it will be the duty of the SGPC to allow the light telecast of Gurbani free to all without any restrictions. No ads will be displayed during this time. All channels will be given video and audio free to whoever wants to telecast it.
Tanj on the Badal family
CM Mann said that I have brought the act of free broadcasting of Gurbani, so they tell me not to bow down to Guru Ghar, we only bow down when we see the sign from far away, how can we bow down. Whenever the Guru goes to the house, I always stand in line. When the Badal family goes, the kirtans also stand up. We don’t open the beard by seeing the opportunity, we know that we are true, if a man shows any fault, we will lose our mind. I have not played any raw pills.
