Chandigarh, May 21: Explaining the rationale behind extending the rights to telecast Gurbani from Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, in Amritsar to only one channel, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said the government is ready to bear all expenditure to install hi-end techniques so that the Gurbani can be telecast on all channels free of cost.

In a statement here, the Chief Minister said this is the need of the hour to disseminate the 'Sarb Sanji Gurbani' across the globe with an aim of spreading the universal message of 'Sarbat da Bhala' (welfare of all). Baisakhi 2023: Fireworks and Lighting Displayed at Golden Temple in Amritsar on the Occasion of Vaisakhi (Watch Video). 

He said it is strange that only one channel has been given exclusive rights for the telecast of Gurbani from Sri Darbar Sahib. Mann said these rights should be given free of cost to all channels rather than confining it to a single channel.

The Chief Minister said this endeavour will go a long way in offering an opportunity to the Sangat to listen to the blissful Gurbani while sitting at their homes, even abroad.

Likewise, he said that it will also allow people to have a glimpse (darshan didar) of Sachkhand Sri Harmandar Sahib on their TV sets or other gadgets. Woman With 'Tricolour' Painted on Face Denied Entry Into Golden Temple, SGPC Official Issues Clarification After Video Goes Viral.
