Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee has assured UK-based Sikh organisations to take up the issue of visa for blacklisted Sikhs with the Centre for facilitating their visit to India for pilgrimage.
A delegation of DSGMC led by its president Manjit Singh GK is on tour of the United Kingdom and Scotland and as part of the tour, DSMGC is meeting different Sikh organisations and visiting Gurudwaras including Birmingham-based Sikh Council, the supreme body of Gurudwaras in the UK, a media release by DGMC said.
DSGMC would stand as guarantor to all those who want to come to India for pilgrimage, GK said.
DSGMC general secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa said his organisation would never support any separatist movement and have always been motivating Sikhs to be part of the larger Indian diaspora and fight for their rights within the democratic system.
"We are compassionate with the issue of all Sikhs living abroad and when the delegation returns to India, we would make efforts to bring them closer to India. DSGMC would approach Indian government with all issues raised by the Sikhs living in foreign countries," Sirsa said.
