CM lying with Supreme Confidence on religious issues<\/strong>
\n\u201cSTATE GOVT DELIBERATEY SITTING ON FUNDS ALREADY RECEIVED FROM CENTRE\u201d: \u00a0Harsimrat Kaur Badal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chandigarh:August, 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Union Minister for Food Processing Industries \u00a0Sardarni (Mrs) Harsimrat Kaur Badal today asked the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amaridner to tell the Sikh Sangat why he is holding back the central refund meant for Guru ka Langar in the holy Sri Harmandar Sahib and other Sikh shrines.\u201d
\n\u201cThe Congress government in the state is either too irreverent or \u00a0too lazy – or both – \u00a0to fulfil its constitutional obligation towards the Guru\u2019s abode. It has now gotten into the habit of expecting the Guru Ghar to beg at its door even for what is rightfully due to it. Not to speak of pooling the state\u2019s own share to the central refund, the Amarinder Govt is sitting tight even on what the centre expeditiously sends to it for refund of Langar \u00a0expenses. This is your contribution to the great Sikh quom which you never tire of talking about, despite your false oath on holy Sikh scriptures\u201d said Mrs Badal lashing out at the CM
\nShe asked the Chief Minister to stop abusing the \u201csacred money meant for Guru ka Langar\u201d for other purposes or be ready to face the wrath of the Sangat .
\n\u201c While Sikhs and Sikh shrines have received worldwide attention for their exceptional Langar \u2018seva\u2019, especially during the Covid19 period, the Congress government in Punjab is doing all it can to make things difficult for them in this regard, refusing even to release the money \u00a0received by it from the Union Government as \u2018Guru ka Langar refund\u2019. It is frustrating that the CM lies with supreme confidence even on religious issues and had claimed sometime back that he had issued \u2018strict instructions\u2019 that not a penny belonging to Guru Ghar should be held back for even an hour. His big talk is matched with petty attitudes \u00a0and total inaction. He is either not taken seriously by his own government or is taken too seriously on his known bias against Sikh religious institutions,\u201d said Mrs Badal in a statement here this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Mrs Badal further said that \u00a0 the Govt of India had released another instalment of over \u00a0Rs 66 lakh as refund against the Goods & Services Tax (GST) charged on \u00a0items \u00a0purchased for \u2018langars\u2019 in the holy \u00a0Sri Harmandar Sahib and other Gurdwara Sahiban. This, she said , was \u00a0meant towards the settlement of accounts for the fiscal year 2019-20 but the Congress government in Punjab . She said that she was thankful to the Govt of India, especially the \u00a0Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sithraman for releasing the amount but feels embarrassed when she has to face them on the non-utilisation by her own state\u2019s government. \u201c \u00a0 She \u00a0asked the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh to also come forward and clear the state\u2019s share towards the religious institutions piling up since 2017.
\nMrs Badal \u00a0had earlier intervened with the Prime Minister to get \u00a0the GST on Langar \u00a0items \u00a0waived under a special scheme \u00a0under which \u00a0both the central GST and the IGST (Integrated Goods and Service Tax) imposed on these items for Gurdwara Sahiban are refunded by the Government of India. This was done to compensate for the absence of direct waiver on these items .
\nMrs Badal disclosed that \u00a0the GOI has so far released crores of rupees for this purpose. \u00a0\u201cBut the Congress government in Punjab is yet to refund a sum of Rs 3.13 crore to Shri Harmandar Sahib and other Sikh shrines through the SGPC. This \u00a0includes Rs 1.68 crore pending for over two years for the period from August 2017 to July 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n
