SGPC Limits Information Sharing with SIT to 328 Missing Saroops Case

SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami accused the SIT of seeking unrelated internal records and making misleading statements to harm the Sikh institution's image. The SGPC emphasized cooperation limited to the saroops case and declined to provide additional information.
