This was stated by president of the SGPC Avtar Singh Makkar.
NRI representatives met Makkar and raised the need of propagating religious preaching to families staying overseas. Talking to newspersons, Makkar said an NRI religious advisory committee has been set up to look into all such issues.
He also said the SGPC would make all efforts to ensure that the publication of the sacred Guru Granth Sahib was done by it in other states also.
Punjab has already passed an Act in the state assembly which disallows all publishers except the SGPC to print the sacred book.
Makkar said the SGPC was concerned over the controversies related to the wearing of turban in foreign countries. “We have already apprised the Prime Minister of these concerns. We are also pursuing the matter with the French authorities," he said.
