Media banned in Amritsar Golden Temple


Media has been banned in the most holy place for Sikhs in an unprecedented move. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has decided to ban the entry of the media in the 'parikarma' (walkway) of the Golden Temple ahead of the 32nd anniversary of Operation Bluestar. In 2014, the anniversary had seen a medieval-type sword fight between radical Sikh groups and the Task Force or the internal security of SGPC at the Golden Temple.
