The American Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (AGPC) strongly denounced the reported vandalism of Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Newark, California, allegedly by Khalistani separatists. AGPC President Pritpal Singh, on December 25, expressed profound distress over the incident, vehemently condemning the criminal act. Singh underscored the Sikh community's resolute support for the universal right to practice religion freely, drawing a historical connection to Guru Teg Bahadur's ultimate sacrifice for the religious freedom of Hindus. The vandalized mandir, adorned with derogatory graffiti targeting PM Modi, serves as a poignant symbol of the AGPC's condemnation and its enduring commitment to religious freedom and tolerance.
