Amritsar: The Chief Justice of India Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud arrived on his personal visit to Amritsar today. As soon as he reached Amritsar, he went to Sri Harimandir Sahib and paid obeisance there. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, getting drenched in the rain like ordinary devotees, circumambulator the entire Golden Temple, after which he took prasad and bowed his head in at the Gurughar.
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami himself was present with the Chief Justice. He informed Chief Justice Chandrachud about the history and dignity of the Golden Temple. Apart from this, he walked along with him and bowed his head in the Gurughar.
A memorandum was also submitted to the Chief Justice on behalf of Advocate Dhami, head of the Gurdwara Management Committee. It was said that an uncontrolled and organized hate campaign and propaganda against the minority Sikh community on social media platforms is becoming a very important issue. It is not being properly stopped by the Government of India and the concerned state governments.
Being the constitutional and representative organization of the Sikh community, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has from time to time passed several resolutions (copies enclosed) to take strict action against hate propaganda promoting enmity between different communities and sent them to the Government of India, but despite this, they have not been properly resolved. The Supreme Court is very strict against such communal and hateful expressions on social media platforms.
