JAMMU, Oct 13: BJP Minority Morcha (BJPMM), J&K UT president, Ranjodh Singh Nalwa on Sunday strongly condemned the shocking incident of desecration of the holy Guru Granth Sahib that took place in Samba district and demanded strict action and a high-level probe into the matter.
The incident occurred on the night of October 7, 2025, at Gurudwara Singh Sabha in Koulpur village, Vijaypur tehsil of Samba district, where the accused, identified as Manjit Singh alias Billa, allegedly used an inflammable substance to set ablaze five sacred Saroops (copies) of the Guru Granth Sahib.
Chairing a meeting of party workers to discuss the incident, Nalwa termed the act as “unforgivable” and “a deliberate attempt to hurt the religious sentiments of the Sikh community.”
He said the BJP Minority Morcha stands in complete solidarity with the Sikh community and will ensure that justice is served at the earliest.
“Our team will visit the Gurudwara tomorrow to assess the situation, meet the management committee, and issue a strong statement condemning this heinous act. Such acts are not just a crime against a faith but a direct assault on the social and communal harmony of Jammu and Kashmir,” Nalwa said while addressing the workers.
He further alleged that the act appeared to be part of a “deep conspiracy” aimed at disturbing peace and brotherhood in the region.
“This sacrilegious act is not an isolated incident. It reflects a larger conspiracy to divide communities and create unrest. Those behind this shameful act must be dealt with exemplary punishment,” Nalwa added.
Calling for a high-level investigation, Nalwa demanded that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) be constituted to probe the incident thoroughly and bring the culprits to justice at the earliest.
“We demand a time-bound investigation by an SIT to uncover the real motives and masterminds behind this attempt to vitiate peace,” he said.
Expressing deep pain and anguish, Nalwa appealed to the people to maintain peace and not fall prey to divisive forces.
“The Sikh community has always stood for peace, humanity, and brotherhood. We must remain united and not allow anyone to succeed in their designs to divide us,” he urged.
