On March 3, 2005 The Tribune reported, "The 19th descendants of Sai Mian Mir, the Muslim seer who laid the foundation stone of the Golden Temple and those of Nabi Khan Ghani Khan who had once saved the life of Guru Gobind Singh, were denied 'siropa' (the robe of honour) by the SGPC during their visit [to Amritsar] today. Bibi Jagir Kaur, SGPC chief, said the Shiromani Committee was yet to establish whether they were the 'actual descendants of the seer.' She said the SGPC would also try to establish the authenticity of the relics brought by the descendants of Nabi Khan- Ghani Khan from Pakistan. She said before coming to India, Mr Nasin Maqdoom Sayeed Chand Pir Qadri, who claims to be the 19th descendant of the Mian Mir, had not approached the SGPC . Mr Yahood Ahmed Khan, descendant of Ghani Khan, and Nabi Khan, had also not approached the Shiromani Committee. She, however, said only after establishing the veracity of these religious personalities, the SGPC would give the required honour."
