Punjab CM appeals SGPC to grant rights to all TV & radio channels for live broadcast of Gurbani from Golden Temple
Talwandi Sabo (Bathinda): Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Wednesday appealed the Jathedar Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Harpreet Singh to direct the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee to immediately grant rights to all the TV and radio channels for direct telecast/broadcast of live Gurbani Kirtan from Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar.
The move aims at ensuring maximum outreach of live kirtan so that none of any devotee is deprived of viewing/listening Gurbani kirtan.
While personally handing over the letter to the Jathedar Sahib at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, CM Channi said that as the Sikh sangat had been craving since long for ‘Khulle Darshan Deedar’ of sacred places left in Pakistan after partition, likewise in the same spirit the devout Sikh sangat always nurtured a keen desire for open telecast of Gurbani kirtan around the clock from Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib.
Meanwhile, CM Channi also assured the Jathedar Sri Akal Takht that Punjab government is ready to bear the entire expenditure of requisite infrastructure for the said purpose.
