New York: Following confusion over date of Parkash Gurpurb of 10th Sikh Guru, the American Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (AGPC) has once again raised the demand of implementing the original Nanakshahi Calendar which was adopted by SGPC in 2003.

In a statement few days back, AGPC coordinator Pritpal Singh said there was confusion of celebration of Gurpurab of Guru Gobind Singh .

“If original NC had implemented there would have not been any such confusion” he said.

He said that AGPC had demanded from Akal Takht to convene a meeting of all the parties and Sikh bodies to clear the confusion and air of uncertainty at the earliest.
