Amritsar: A girl with the Tricolour painted on her face was allegedly denied entry into the Golden Temple. The video of the incident went viral on Monday.
After the video made rounds on social media and attracted criticism, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (administers the Golden Temple) General Secretary, Gurcharan Singh Grewal, apologised for any misbehaviour and said the flag painted on the woman’s face wasn’t a Tricolour as it didn’t have the Ashoka Chakra.
The clip, shot by the woman on a phone, shows the girl and the guard in an argument, where the girl repeatedly asks the guard if it is not India and the guard aggressively disagreed.
The clip ends with the guard trying to snatch the woman’s phone when she tells him was saying bizarre things.

The woman is visible just for a fleeting second at the start of the clip but can be heard.
“This is a Sikh shrine. Every religious place has its own decorum…We welcome everyone…We apologise if an official misbehaved…The flag on her face was not our national flag as it didn’t have Ashoka Chakra. It could have been a political flag,” Gurcharan Singh Grewal, General Secretary of SGPC, told newswire ANI.
