New Delhi, Apr 25: The National Commission for Minorities has sought a detailed report from the Arunachal Pradesh chief secretary over the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee's contention that a historical site associated with Guru Nanak Dev in Mechuka has been converted into a Buddhist temple.
In a statement on Monday, the commission said it has taken cognizance of the representation received from Sardar Harjinder Singh Dhami, the president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) about the "conversion of the historical site associated with Guru Nanak Dev in Mechuka, Arunachal Pradesh into a Buddhist temple".
"As such incidents hurt the religious sentiments of the Sikh community and create a feeling of discrimination amongst them, the commission has sent a letter to the chief secretary, Arunachal Pradesh, on 24.4.2023 seeking a detailed report in the matter for consideration of the Commission," the statement said.
