Live Gurbani Telecast: YouTube suspension brings spotlight back on SGPC’s own satellite channel

YouTube’s week-long suspension of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s (SGPC) channel, SGPC Sri Amritsar, which streams live Gurbani kirtan from the Golden Temple, has once again put the spotlight on the gurdwara body’s proposed satellite channel, a project announced two years ago, which is yet to see any progress.

The suspension of the channel comes in the wake of a video uploaded on October 31 that featured a Sikh preacher making references to the assassins of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, on her death anniversary.
