Head granthi slams call for central security forces
Hindustan Times Ludhiana
|July 20, 2025
Golden Temple head granthi and former Akal Takht jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh on Saturday took an exception to the demand for deployment of central security forces in wake of multiple bomb threat emails received by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
His statement came after Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla demanded that central government and state government jointly increase security here and Amritsar be declared a “no-war zone”. One of the threat emails were also copied to the Congress MP.
However, Aujla refuted media reports claiming that he had demanded “deployment of the CISF” at Golden Temple.
