JALANDHAR: Tension prevailed at the local Abadpura locality after members of the Ravidass community placed their newly formed granth “Amrit Bani Satguru Ravidass Maharaj Ji” at a temple of the Ravidassia community here.
An alleged attempt by police to prevent the installation of granth in the temple led to tension here on Sunday. While the police authorities were saying that they reached the gurdwara premises fearing any untoward incident, the community members blamed them for stopping them from placing the granth in the gurdwara.
The followers claimed that they had placed the “Amrit Bani Granth” in a seperate room, without disturbing Guru Granth Sahib installed in another room.
They said no sentiments of any religion had been hurt, yet the police were objecting to the installation of granth on the grounds that the roof was shared with the Sikh holy text.
The community members said the police was aware of the placing of the granth and policemen had been deployed since 11 am. Later in the evening ADCP Satinder Singh, ADCP Sarbjit Singh and ACP R.P.S. Sandhu reached the gurdwara premises and held a meeting with the community members to discuss the issue.
President of the Sri Guru Ravidass Naujawan Santokh Sabha, Abadpura Anil Kumar said,“We had taken prior permission from the former Deputy Commissioner of Jalandhar Ajeet Singh Pannu regarding placing <script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "pub-0261932740446176";/* 300x250, created 5/4/10 */google_ad_slot = "6194387391";google_ad_width = 300;google_ad_height = 250;//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
the granth at the gurdwara. However, now we are being refused on the pretext of using the same gurdwara premises for placing the new granth.”
Earlier, members of Sri Guru Ravidass Dharam Yudh Morcha held a religious ceremony on the first death anniversary of the deputy chief of the Dera Sachkhand, Ballan, Sant Ramanand, at the Boota Mandi locality.
Meanwhile, Shri Guru Ravidass Dharam Yudh Morcha leaders announced the body would raise a youth volunteer force with one lakh members to act as guards for the publicity of the granth.
Commissioner Gaurav Yadav said the police were deployed to maintain law and order, and resolve the issues. “Nobody will be allowed to disturb the peace in tha area,” he added
