On the other hand, Haryana’s Sikhs wants the money collected from golaks in gurdwaras in state to be spent on Haryana’s gurdwaras only. Makkar, however, set the record straight and said the SGPC was spending more money on development, education, evangelism than it was drawing from golaks.
Experts, meanwhile, feel that apart from financial losses, the SGPC’s claim of being the only paramount body of the Sikhs will get a major beating with the formation of a separate Sikh body.
Incidentally, the SGPC is also seeking permission from the Centre to allow it to maintain Sikh shrines in Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
