SGPC wants immediate ban on Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chashma TV programme

[Optimus_Prime]

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) on Saturday demanded an immediate ban on SAB TV’s flagship programme, Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chashma, alleging that it had hurt the sentiments of Sikh community by portraying a series of what it said were blasphemous acts.

In a statement to the media, SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar said the serial had hurt the community by depicting a living character of tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, which was “against the Sikh tenets”.

“No actor or any character can equate himself with the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh. Such an act is unpardonable,” he was quoted by PTI.

Badungar said that a character, Roshan Singh Sodhi, in the serial was projected as Guru Gobind Singh and this was unacceptable to the community.

The apex religious body of the Sikh warned the channel and the director of the show from showing “blasphemous” content on small screen.

NO ONE CAN BAN THAT SERIAL! The reasons are obvious

On topic, the makers should focus on "comedy" and abandon singing and dancing.
