The authorities in Qatar on Wednesday handed over two ‘saroops’ (copies) of the Holy Guru Granth Sahib to the Indian embassy in Doha, a step which was appreciated by New Delhi.
The copies were seized from an Indian national in a case related to running a religious establishment without approval.
”Qatar authorities have today handed over to our Embassy in Doha Sri Guru Granth Sahib (two Saroops) taken from an Indian national in a case related to running a religious establishment without approvals. We thank the Government of Qatar for the same,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
