The Sikh community considers Guru Granth Sahib as a living Guru, who cannot be replaced by any person. But Nirankari Satguru Avtar Singh declared himself a living Guru in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib. This led to discord between the Sikhs and the Nirankaris, with several bouts of skirmishes. One such conflict occurred on April 13, 1978, in which 13 Sikhs were killed.<\/p>\n<p>On April 15, 1978, these 13 Sikhs were cremated in front of Shri Ramsar Sahib Gurdwara in Amritsar.
