Furore in parliament over move for separate gurdwara committees :: Samay Live
- Both houses of parliament were adjourned Thursday following noisy protests from the Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the Haryana government's decision to form a separate Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) to manage Sikh shrines in the state.
MPs from the Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were on their feet in both houses against what they saw as the government's move to have separate SGPCs in each state. Currently, the SGPC in Amritsar is the supreme body controlling Sikh shrines and religious affairs.
