[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 149146, member: 35"] [B]War over private printing of "birs" intensifies[/B] by I P Singh JALANDHAR: The issue of private printing of 'birs' of Guru Granth Sahib with spelling mistakes has taken another embarrassing turn for Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar as Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) has lodged a complaint against him and three others with Jalandhar (rural) police for registering a case under Jagat Jot Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Act 2008. The complaint was submitted to SSP (rural) Ashish Chaudhary by a delegation led by T{censored}m Singh, chairman of Dharam Parchar Committee of Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Managing Committee. It named Makkar, a Ludhiana-based printer and Phagwara resident Sulakhan Singh Johal and his son Manbir Singh Johal, who got the 'birs' printed. The complaint has been submitted in Jalandhar as two of these printed 'birs' were presented at a SGPC-controlled gurdwara in village Sang Dhesian, near Goraya, in Jalandhar district. The complaint alleged that the Act specifies that only SGPC was authorized to print the 'birs' but in this case 'birs' were printed illegally at a private printing press in Ludhiana with the active connivance of SGPC president. The complaint signed by Balwinder Singh Bhullar has demanded that a case be registered against the Makkar and three others as they had clearly committed an offence under the provisions of the Act. SAD (Delhi) Youth Wing president Gurdip Singh Gosha revealed that when they first came to know about these 'birs' at Sang Dhesian gurdwara, he called up Manbir Singh Johal, who confirmed that they got the 'birs' printed from Ludhiana after getting Makkar's consent. T{censored}m Singh said that Makkar's complicity in the matter was more than evident as he constituted a committee to examine the 'birs' after these reached Sikh Reference Library on March 23. "When printing the 'birs' at the first place was an illegal act, why did he not get a case registered as the Act was passed by the state government after SGPC had pressed for it," he questioned. "The committee then gave its findings on April 4 but Makkar instead of taking action sat over the report," he said. Delhi Sikh Gurdwara management Committee and SAD (Ddelhi) leaders alleged that several 'birs' with golden ink were printed and each 'bir' was sold at a price of Rs 2 lakhs. When contacted, Jalandhar (rural) SSP Ashish Chaudhary said that DSP Phillaur would probe the matter see that if any offence was made in their jurisdiction.
