   Phagwara, July 6 Jathedar Sukhdev Singh Bhaur, a former acting SGPC president and an Akali stalwart, today underlined the need for new methods for propagation of Sikhism to usher in a renaissance in the Sikh religion and to bring back those who had got weaned away from the faith. He was addressing the 86th “Jor Mela” at nearby historic Palahi village on the concluding day. The three day “Jor Mela” was held to observe the fifth battle fought by the sixth Guru Hargobind, against the Mughal rulers at Palahi village in 1634. Jathedar Bhaur told the congregation that he was not satisfied with the traditional ways of propagation of Sikhism, confined to the gurdwara. The emer…

   Amritsar, July 6 Mr Kirpal Singh Badungar, President of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, today described the speculative reports about any possible change of guard in the Shiromani committee as ‘baseless’. In a press release issued here today, Mr Badungar said that the SGPC was running in accordance with the Sikh Gurdwara Act and that he would continue to serve the panth with great honesty. He, however, said that he was ready to accept any directive of the party. In an oblique reference to his rivals who wanted to dislodge him from the coveted post, Mr Badungar said that it (post of SGPC chief) was given to him by the Sikh Panth. link-----http://www.tribun…

   NCM Protests State Dept Film Showing Sikhs As Terrorists :D New Delhi, July 5 (UNI) The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) has objected to a US State Department video showing gun-weilding Sikhs in the Golden Temple as terrorists, saying the film may in fact compound trouble for American Sikhs, some of whom have even been attacked after 9/11 because of their distinct identity. ''A War Without Borders', recently brought out by the US State Department's Bureau of Public Affairs to educate students about terrorism, shows armed Sikhs fighting the Army at the Golden Temple at a time when the community is struggling to portray its culture and traditions in real ways, f…

    Chandigarh, July 4 The Punjab and Haryana High Court, in a significant judgement, today ruled that the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) was not an industry and its employees were not “workmen” under the Industrial Disputes Act. Pronouncing the orders on an appeal filed by the SGPC against Patiala Labour Court’s order in favour of an employee, Mr Justice Mehtab Singh Gill of the High Court added that the distribution of karah Parshad, besides the opening of free kitchen — langar — would not bring it under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. The state had earlier challenged the Labour Court’s order setting aside the termination orders of an emplo…
