Hand over purse strings, Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee tells SGPC

Yudhvir Rana,TNN | Aug 1, 2014, 03.28 AM IST

AMRITSAR: The Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) on Thursday summoned the account books of eight major gurdwaras in the state in a clear bid to take control of the purse strings of the shrines. It also wrote to managers of banks with accounts of the gurdwaras not to clear any cheques issued by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbhandhak Committee, taking the fight between the two bodies to the next level.

Although the high court has issued notices on a petition challenging the Haryana assembly's right to pass the HSGMC Act, it has not stayed its functioning.

Talking to TOI after their first executive meeting, HSGMC president Jagdish Singh Jhinda said they have summoned the account books at Gurdwara Neem Sahib in Kaithal by 5pm on Saturday. The executive body members have expressed concern over the ?explosive situation' due to the presence of SAD(B) leaders and SGPC task force in gurdwaras of Haryana.

Jhinda also insisted that SGPC pay salaries of gurdwara staff as HSGMC would be able to pay the employees only after they get physical possession and management of the shrines.

"The executive body has decided to write to Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Gurbachan Singh, SAD(B) patron Parkash Singh Badal and SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar to vacate the gurdwaras," Jhinda said.

"They should understand that HSGMC is a legal body now and there is resentment in the hearts of Sikhs of Haryana over presence of SGPC and SAD(B) supporters, the situation could even take a bloody turn. We have humbly urged them to vacate the gurdwaras, the letters will be dispatched today," Jhinda added.

The other decisions taken during the executive body meeting include writing to Centre to allow HSGMC to send jathas to Pakistan. A special committee would also visit affected areas of Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh and would submit its report to the prime minister and home minister.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
