Film shooting will not be allowed in Golden Temple

Film shooting will not be allowed in Golden Temple
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) will not allow films to be shot either by Bollywood or any organisation at Sikh religious places especially at the Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple), SGPC general secretary Sukhdev Singh Bhaur said here today.

Talking to newspersons, Mr Bhaur said permission could not be granted for the shooting of films as it was against the religious code laid down by the Akal Takht Jathedar.

He criticised the Punjab government for inviting Bollywood directors and producers to shoot films at the Golden Temple.

Mr Bhaur expressed his opinion on the reported announcement by the Punjab Toursim department to open 99 monuments including 66 protected ones to Bollywood producers. These monuments include the Golden Temple.

The Tourism department while taking this decision did not take the SGPC into confidence which controls the Golden Temple and a number of other important gurdwaras.
