Amritsar: Recently there was a popular message posted on a fake letterhead of SPGC on Facebook. This post had been used by thousands of Sikhs from 20th October untill today and shared by them all as well. This caused utter confusion that the message has arrived from SGPC
Taking note of this fake post, Former Punjab Minister Laxmi Kanta Chawla today shot off a missive to SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar drawing his attention towards an “objectionable” message against Karva Chauth apparently written on the letterhead of the Akal Takht and posted on Facebook
She claimed that the names of prominent Sikh figures have been mentioned in the message. She urged Makkar to take serious note of the matter. She also requested him to act against the guilty.
The former minister has released a copy of the message to the media. Though it doesn’t have a signature or name of any SGPC member, it mentions the designations of a few religious Sikh personalities.
Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh said they were investigating the matter which seemed to be a mischief.
