Amidst the controversy of a fashion designer doing yoga in the Golden Temple complex of Amritsar, a viral screenshot of a tweet claiming to be posted by the official X handle of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is doing the rounds on social media.

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
Running the Reverse Image search of the viral picture, the NM team identified a post by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Parody account. We can see that the image in the post matches exactly with the viral one.
It is clear that this account is not the real SGPCP account as we could see many other posts made to mislead people on this parody account.
The bio of the account, too, clearly states that it is a Parody account and it is not affiliated with the official committee.
Checking further the official account of SGPCP, we found the original account lodging a police complaint against the woman who performed Yoga.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming Hindu symbolism is not welcome in Harmandir Sahib, is false.
