Sikh priests stage protest demanding increase in salary
Several 'Akhand Pathis' (Sikh priests) on Monday held a protest demanding an increase in their salaries at the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, Punjab. 'Akhand Pathis' perform the 'Akhand Path Sewa', the continuous recitation of sacred religious texts of Sikhism, at gurdwaras. During the protest, they accused the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) of not accepting their demand.
