Video Shows Man Rinsing Mouth in Golden Temple's Holy Pool, Draws Outrage. The footage from the Sikhism holiest site in Amritsar shows the visitor using the holy pool for what critics call wudu-like ablution, spitting back into the nectar-believed water, violating rules against direct immersion. Outrage spread online over perceived disrespect, with comparisons to past punishments for Hindus carrying tobacco, and accusations of hypocrisy against the SGPC. SGPC Chief Secretary Kulwant Singh Mannan said they will investigate, noting non-Sikhs sometimes err, while no FIR was filed and defenders highlighted the temple's inclusivity for all faiths.
