Report: Heritage Dossier is against the Sikh spirit!

The Panthic Weekly article:

"The five-member sub-committee constituted by the SGPC to review the dossier on Sri Harimandar Sahib sent to UNESCO, finally submitted its report this week. Speaking to mediapersons this Monday, Dr Jasbir Singh Sabar, a member of the the sub-committee, said that the document was against the very spirit of the Sikh Gurdwara Act of 1925, and denigrated the very authority of Sri Akaal Takht Sahib and other cherished Sikh institutions. Providing references from the 500-page dossier, Dr Sabar said that the contents were against the spirit of the Sikh prayer as well. 'The dossier seems to have been formulated under a 'deep-rooted' conspiracy,' he stated. Reportly, other members of the sub-committee, Prof Niranjan Singh Dhesi , Dr Darshan Singh and Dr Sarbjinder Singh agree with Dr Sabar."
