YouTube Wednesday suspended the official YouTube channel of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) for a week under its policy action over a video related to the 1984 Indian Army action inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

According to a statement issued by the SGPC secretary, YouTube imposed a one-week restriction on the official channel “SGPC, Sri Amritsar” (@SGPCSriAmritsar), which relays Gurbani Kirtan from Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib.

“The action was taken over a video uploaded on October 31, 2025, in which a Sikh preacher, while speaking about Sikh warriors, made certain references linked to the events of 1984, described by the SGPC as part of Sikh history,” read the SGPC statement.

According to sources, the SGPC preacher had made comments on the assassination of Indira Gandhi.

“SGPC will share its side with YouTube. SGPC is engaging with YouTube over the issue and presenting its viewpoint. We appeal to the sangat that, till the matter is resolved and the primary channel is restored to normal functioning, devotees should connect to the daily live telecast of Gurbani Kirtan from Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib through the SGPC’s other official YouTube channel “Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee” available at youtube.com/@officialsgpc.”
