Las Vegas, an American city, is famous for its casinos, hotels, bars and associated entertainment. Badal has proposed to set up casinos in Ludhiana. American Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (AGPC) president JS Hoti told the TOI on Saturday that opening of casinos in Punjab was an anti- Sikh decision.

Opposing the government's proposal to set up gambling dens in Punjab, coordinator AGPC, Pritpal Singh said that the committee will soon write to Akal Takht Jathedar and urge it to take notice of the move which is against the Sikh ethos and principles. He pointed out the Sikh Gurus had clearly stated that gambling was the worst habit that Sikhs should never take to.
