Despite legal notice, pvt channel continues to air SGPC’s Gurbani broadcast

Despite a legal notice and objections from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), GTC Channel, a private broadcasting network, continued to air live telecast of Gurbani kirtan from Golden Temple on Friday.

On Thursday, the SGPC had initiated legal action against the channel for streaming the live kirtan using SGPC’s official YouTube feed without authorisation, with president Harjinder Singh Dhami asserting that “all rights pertaining to the broadcast of Gurbani from Harmandir Sahib were exclusively vested with SGPC”.
