Gurdwara to be built at Har-ki-Pauri: Daduwal


Dehradun December 7
Baba Baljit Singh Khalsa Daduwal, who was in the city with Gurucharan Singh Babbar, president of the All-India Sikh Conference, and Kunwar Jupinder Singh, president of the Uttarkahnd Punjabi Kranti Morcha, has reiterated their demand to build gurdwara of Guru Nanak Dev at Har-ki-Pauri in Haridwar.
Daduwal has begun his pubic awareness campaign from Haridwar today on this issue and is slated to cover the entire Tarai region in the coming days.
He set the deadline till December 20 for the state to make any declaration in this regard otherwise he threatened to gherao the BJP headquarters in Delhi on December 20.
Daduwal said they would not accept any other place than the designated one where one Scouts and Guide office was located now.
“We have no hesitation even in getting a small place where we can place Guru Granth Sahib and start our prayers,” he said.
He brushed aside the suggestions of placing a “Nishan Sahib” at the place and build a gurdwara elsewhere.
“Nothing is acceptable to us other than the original place. It is a matter of religious sentiments of 35 per cent of the Punjabi population of the state.”
