Delhi government’s recognition to fifth Sikh Takht

Subject – Art and Culture

Context – Aam Aadmi Party(AAP)-led Delhi Assembly on Monday passed an amendment Bill to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1971, recognising TakhtDamdama Sahib as the fifth Takht of Sikhs.

Concept –

  • The amendment to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Act means that it adds one more ex officio member in the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Managament Committee (DSGMC) house.
    • Earlier, there were four ex officio members in the house — the chiefs (jathedars) of the other four Sikh Takhts.
    • Ex officio members have no voting rights in the house.
