Amritsar: Avtar Singh Makkar, president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC), has written a letter to Mufti Mohammad Syeed, Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, to take strict action against activists of Brahman Sabha who forcibly took over control of Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Kishatwad.
Members of Brahmin Sabha had also thrashed Gurdwara Sevadar Shadi Singh besides throwing away his belongings out of Gurdwara Sarai.
