Golden Temple: The tricolor was applied on the face, then he was stopped from going to the Golden Temple, said that this is not India, it is Punjab…

A video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which a man is seen misbehaving with a woman in the Golden Temple. In the video, SGPC workers are preventing a woman from entering the Golden Temple because her face was covered with the national flag of India i.e. the tricolor.

It can be seen in the video that as soon as the woman is entering the Golden Temple, an SGPC worker stops her from going inside. When the employee is asked by another person going to the temple from there why the woman is not being allowed to go. The employee says that the tricolor is made on its face.

This is not India this is Punjab.

SGPC employee when asked "Isn't this India?" To this the employee replied that "this is Punjab".

Asked to follow the dignity of the temple

According to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the SGPC staff asked the woman to observe the Golden Temple's decorum. The SGPC said that they have started an investigation into the matter. He has also alleged that some people are deliberately giving a wrong twist to the incident. SGPC general secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal said the painting was "not the national flag as it did not have the Ashoka Chakra".

Sikh community respects the national flag

He said that the Sikh community respects the national flag as most of the people who laid down their lives for the country during the freedom struggle were Sikhs." Grewal said that Sikhs are patriots and can make any sacrifice for the motherland. .

Referring to the narrative being created against Sikhs after the incident, he said that no one should try to malign the image of the Sikh community by posting objectionable videos on social media.

Narrative being created against Sikhs - SGPG President

SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami also condemned the narrative being created against Sikhs on social media after the video went viral on social media. The SGPC president said that it is not right to make fabricated and baseless comments on social media to tarnish the image of Sikhs over any incident and defame the management of the organisation.

Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) is a universal place for people of all faiths and pilgrims arriving here are respected. But it is sad that anti-Sikh forces are leaving no stone unturned to tarnish the image of Sikh institutions. Dhami said that spreading false propaganda on any incident is an act of breaking brotherhood, which should be avoided.
