Remove names of Sikhs from Blacklist, Akal Takht Jathedar asks Govt

Amritsar: Jathedar Akal Takht (highest Sikh Temporal Seat) Gyani Gurbachan Singh asked the Union Government of India to remove the name of Sikh persons from black list so that they could come to India.
Addressing the media persons here Monday, Jathedar said that number of Sikh people and Sikh families living abroad were unable to visit India to pay obeisance at Harmandahr Sahib (popularly know as Golden Temple) Amritsar due to their name existing in the blacklist of Indian Government.
Citing the recent example, Jathedar said that few days back on January 12, New Zealand based Sikh lady Shubneet Kaur was deported from Delhi Airport along with his two years old son on the pretext that her name stood in the blacklist of Indian Government. Whereas, she had visited India two years back along with her husband and now her name was appearing in the blacklist.
