Punjab govt-SGPC row mars Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom event
As the Punjab government gears up to celebrate the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur, from November 20 to 26 at Anandpur Sahib, the event has become embroiled in a political controversy. The SGPC has refused to allow the state govt to use its gurdwara premises for the official functions, a move that has sparked political and religious tensions.
