  2. Please note all our jathebandis are doing their little bit and that is what it is, little bit, but look at who we collectively are up against and this needs a new way of thinking and a fresh approach on an international platform with a vital voice on the ground in Punjab and it is this alone which has led to a new generation of frustrated professionals coming together to contribute to the seva - hence for the formation of IPD. We know we can do so much but our current approaches are not achieving the penetration needed to be effective. The work of IPD will be judged on quality and output and not on noise, platforms and numbers. 27 years is much too late, we all acknowledge this and if a fresh additional approach renders strong results then, is that something we should deter or encourage - i ask? Treat this as another battalion and yes the alignment is with names mentioned above but that will only put pressure on those on the ground in Punjab for results and if those don't render then they will be judged also. With Maharajs support and with the truth in IPDs sails this challenge which IPD has taken on will succeed. i would add, in IPD coming into being this has forced some to review themselves and expede their projects which i would say is a positive for the movement as a whole and in the eyes of IPD is a successful initial result in its self. The aim is one to take Maharajs message to all corners of the world as well as demonstrate that we can govern as Singhs. So let's focus our energies on projects and results for the better good of the Panth. Apologies if i may have upset some but this was and will never be the intention - we are brothers in arms and please do recognise this. If not then we know where you are coming from and what ones agenda is.
  3. Posters will be made available this weekend to put up at your local Gurdwara Sahibs.

  8. Milton Keynes, never expected this!!! A fantastic Gurdwara in UK named after the chorte Shahibzaade. With every repect all Gurdwara's need to be run as Gurdwara place of worship, its Guru Maharaj's Palace, but nowadays we have made it as own personal properties and treating it like a business. This needs to stop!!! We have built beautiful Gurdwaras around the country, but when it come to doing Parchaar and bringing and helping the next future generation we tend to leave it out, and come out with the the normal excuse "its costings us money", "cant afford it", "or you pay for it!!!" This isnt right...... We as a nation need to take control of the Gurdwara Sahib and where they are doing wrong we should tell them and get it stopped. We need to support the Sangat in Milton Keynes and message to the committee members is to listen to the Sangat and not dictate. Other wise incidents like these will occur.

  12. Pyaare Sadh Sangat ji, RE: Atrocity at Bow Gurdwara. As everyone is aware the worst atrocity for Sikhs on English soil took place at Bow Gurdwara last month when 11 Saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib were burnt during an Arson attack. Since then Sikhs of the UK have launched their own investigations into this Arson and we want Sadh Sangat to be aware of the following points. The Graffiti that has been previously highlighted has been found to be a hoax. It was a diversion tactic used by the culprits. The Graffiti referred to gang LFC which is prominently a “Post code” orientated gang. The graffiti had the wrong postcode, so it’s highly unlikely that the gang would get their own postcode wrong. Also Sikhs’s have spoken to members of this gang who clearly state they had nothing to do with this arson. The attention has turned to members of the Gurdwara committee. Anonymous calls received from the Bow Sangat and people close to the committee who have enlighten us to the internal on-goings. Few weeks before the Arson attack there was an aggressive divide between the committee where half of the members wanted to sell the Gurdwara. Sadh Sangat needs to be aware that the Gurdwara was worth around £8 Million as a listed building but would have been worth considerably more as an unlisted building. Some of the current trustees were part of another Gurdwara on Gloucester Drive. When that was sold some of the profits were shared amongst the Trustees. Similarly some committee members wanted to sell the Bow Gurdwara (£8million) and move to Ilford where they could buy a similar plot for a third of the sale price. Therefore, it was a very attractive option to sell Bow Gurdwara. Now, with Bow Gurdwara burnt down, the plot is worth more as an unlisted building/new build. (Estimated £10million). Certain members of the committee have gone to great extents to cover up these allegations. Sikhs have spoken to a Bibi ji who has informed us that she has been intimidated and made to keep quiet on this incident. The Pardhan (President) has made ridiculous and false allegations that his daughter was abducted, these were made for the sole purpose of him gaining police protection. This shows his level of deviousness. After an atrocity of this scale the committee has made no attempt to clear up the allegations, nor have addressed any of the concerns of the Sangat. We will remind these members that the Panth has never forgiven nor forgotten any actions of this scale. We urge those within the committee who are innocent of any involvement to declare their innocence or prepare to be held accountable. The truth will eventually reveal itself over time and history has shown that no one can escape this fact.
  13. Please forward your views to FSO co-ordinators one of them i think is Kuldeep Singh from Leicester - 07973712872. Its real shame the rally couldnt be organised for this year. We'll have to think of something on the day i suppose.
