The Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee is a Sikh religious organisation in Pakistan. Its creation and organisation is sponsored by the Government of Pakistan. Similar to the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) in India, the organisation is entrusted with the maintenance of Sikh religious institutions, places of worships (gurdwara) and the well-being of the Pakistani Sikh community. Its main organisation is based in Lahore in the province of Punjab. However, the PSGPC is opposed by the SGPC, which regards itself as the sole guardian of Sikh institutions and religion worldwide.
Famous quotes containing the word committee:
“It is easy to carp at colleges, and the college, if he will wait for it, will have its own turn. Genius exists there also, but will not answer a call of a committee of the House of Commons. It is rare, precious, eccentric, and darkling.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
