TheShiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee(SGPC) has taken strict note after a place of worship linked toGuru Nanak Dev in Mechukha,Arunachal Pradesh, was allegedly converted into aBuddhist shrine.

Notably, on April 8, Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu posted on his Facebook page “Guru Padmasambhava, a symbol of peace, spiritual perfection, knowledge & wisdom. Blessed to have visited Neh-Pema Shelpu Drupkhang near Mechukha, a Buddhist pilgrimage site where Guru Padmasambhava meditated. Offered prayers and sought blessings for all.”

Stating that converting a religious place into another community’s religious place was a violation of Section 25(Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion) of the Indian Constitution, Dhami sought immediate intervention of the President of India, Prime Minister, Home Minister and the National Minority Commission.
