Sikh radical groups while rejecting the recently issued amended Nanakshahi calendar by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) today released the original version of the calendar at a Gurdwara built in memory of June 1984 martyrs within the premises of Darbar Sahib popularly known as the Golden Temple.
The radical organisations, including Dal Khalsa, were SAD (Panch Pardani), British Sikh Council (UK), Sikh Youth of Punjab, Sikhs for Human Rights and Gurdwara Singh Sabha (USA).
After performing ardas at the Gurdwara built after the name of Sikh martyrs of 1984 , Sikh hardliners Satnam Singh Paonta Sahib and Harpal Singh Cheema released the calendar and presented the first five copies to the youth with the hope that they would keep the spirit of Nanakshahi calendar alive.
