“The orders to close Gurdwara Bangla Sahib are a testament to the dictatorial attitude of the Delhi Government, which the Sikh community cannot tolerate. These should be withdrawn immediately and the administration must apologise,” she said.

She said the contribution of gurdwaras in provided langar (food from community kitchen), oxygen, and other services to public during the Covid pandemic shouldn’t be forgotten. — TNS
