After just having spoken to Major Singh of Plumstead, more light was shed on this issue, he has categorically stated over a telephonic conversation that a number of his "friends" very stopped from eating langar and even making langar in the evening a few weeks ago by a gyani at the Gurdwara. (To a number of different people at different times)

Bhai shaib also claimed to have from 30 to 40 people who will openly say this, however some many be afraid to speak out as they a dodgy grounds from a immigration perspective. Most of these people will be at the Gurdwara, 1 Calderwood Street, Woolwich this sunday and the matter will be discussed with the committee and sangat.

Major Singh also said that two "Nepalese" people were refused langar by a sewadar of the Gurdwara.

We will bring this to the attention of the committee in a offical manner on sunday and we would like to request all to offer there assistance and support and not to indulge in futile statements.

The British Sikh Student Federation would like to address the issue of Sikh/Punjabi Students who have came from Punjab being "banned" for taking part in the Langar at a number of Gurdwaras across the UK. Woolwich Singh Sabha is a Gurdwara which the Federation have received information regarding this bazaar move of the Gurdwara committees.

Southall Singh Sabha has come out in the media to say that it can help with food but not provide accommodation.

How can a Gurdwara committee ban Sangat from taking part in langar? If you do not have a few pounds in your pocket are you supposed to miss the langar or go back home to get the money?

The main reason for this increase is the number of students coming to the UK is the new points based system that was introduced in April of this year. This has made it easier for Visa "Agents" in Punjab to identify which documents are required to make somebody eligible for a Student Visa by attaining false papers if genuine papers at not held by the applicant.

The Visa agents can charge up to £6,500 pounds for a married couple to apply for a student visa on which the primary applicant is a student and is capped to work only 20 Hours per week and the secondary comes as a dependent and can work unlimited hours. The whole idea of getting a student visa is just to get to the UK to work, but many are unaware of the 20 hour rule!

Many students are requesting for help to get back to Punjab as they have realised that there is no point in staying the UK. Only if they had listened when they were told in the first place!

It is vital for Sikhs living in the UK to inform their family and friends that due to the recession there is no point in them coming to the UK even if they get a genuine work Visa, let alone a Student Visa as there is hardly any work for people in this country.

The British Sikh Student Federation will be confronting the Woolwich Singh Sabha Gurdwara committee on its unacceptable stand and will demand an apology from the Gurdwara Committee instantly.

Jathedar Swaranjeet Singh Ji of Tarna Dal Shaheedan Misal supports Babbu Maan and declares an award for him as well as a direct attack of Sant's and Baba's, (something that Babbu Mann did not do) and Suggested that Babbu Mann Should included the Name of Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale in his next album.

yeah gogogo support singers, who are destroying sikhi culture - but as for my opion on this, i think this is just plain stupid for any gursikh to say this is right, Babbu MANN is pointing out fingers on "EVERYONE" rather then just those Fake sants/baba's, Most sikh preachers will get offended by what Babbu mann has said, cause simply he put everyone under 1 roof.

answer me a questions 'B.S.S.F'

is it right to blame every sikh preacher? specially when it comes from a person like Babbu Mann??? who is a druggist and he does not REPRESENT SIKHI OR GURSIKH is any way. In Fact he is destroying our sikhi, he portrays a diff image of a sikh/punjabi.

Maybe i would of supported Babu Mann if he would of have named those baba's in his songs, but what he did is disgusting ! - Such songs only develops feuds within our communities and it is hindus who are enjoying all da drama. Instead of being ONE and getting wht belongs to as, we are so freaking sepreated and point fingers at each other.

It like 2 cat found a food and they fighting for it, but a monkey comes and takes it

Like what Sardar Tarsem Singh Moranwali have said a sikh pracher deserve to be respected and why cant a sikh preacher have a royaltey? do they dont derserve to buy new cars? or have special VIP access? while ppl like Babbu Mann who buy new car every other year and lives in luxery and in matter of fact, he also has "VIP access".

Why do we have to treat our preacher like <banned word filter activated>? and at same time we can be paying couples of thousand pounds to ppl like Babbu Mann to do a few hour show???, but when it come to paying a preacher, who is showing the path, which leads to guru, we try to minimise our "Budget".

Please grow up and dont support such act. I am sorry if i offended anyone.

No you have not offended anyone, like we stated in our press release, the British Sikh Student Federation fully supports the mission of any genuine preacher, however, at the same time is dead against anyone who is using a positon of authority within the Panth to misuse.

It is interesting to note that Guru Nanak Dev Ji would have never used the previlages of the rulers such as Babar. Would Guru Sahib have used a equal to a red light offended by a government that is against human rights, humanity and basic freedoms?

We often refer to the Indian Govt. as anti Sikh, killer of Sikhs, "they attacked our gurdwara's" etc etc, yet its okay for our Panthic leaders to use the benefits given by the same Government?

This is not a time to attack our Panthic leaders but realise that we still prefer to fight amongst ourselves as it is easier than to challenge the real threats like the Fake Baba's such as Ram Rahim (Sirsa), Radhsowami (Beas) and RSS (the real fountain head of false gurudom in Punjab)

Jokers!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone really thinks they are a voice of authority.

LOL. We went through the Behzti play, Beadbi of Guru Saroops at banqueting halls, 7 saroops destroyed in a Gurdwara fire, insults towards Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji and all them various federations, them jathebhandi, that dal khalsa uk couldn't utter a word.....but now there's no stopping anyone....even the BSSF have opinions...woah...Babbu Maan has woken the sleeping panth....everyone can now "legitimise" their grieviences with Baba Ranjit Singh by hiding behind Babbu Maan's songs...

Since it's establishment in late 2008, the British Sikh Student Federation has taken a pro active step in all services that it has been requested to take part in. I'm sure that you will agree that the Bow Gurdwara attack WAS NOT a time to show which organisation was present or making any kind of "noise" it was a time to reflect, realised and prepare for the future. For that specific time and until found out, it was vital to apply as much pressure from all quaters to get the culprits caught.

We do not wish to take any credit as this was not any time for awards, credit and pride, but a time to get together and work for the greater good. Therefore, the British Sikh Student Federation stuck to engaging its resources in any services that were required and not get into any inter-organisational "competetion"

The Federation has a positive relationship with members of all panthic organisations and is willing to work with anyone that intends to serve a common Sikh National interest.

Surprisingly, whilst most people took the attack of fake “Gurudom” to be upon the likes of Rapist Saadh’s Ram Rahim (Sirsa), Ashutosh (Normahelleya) and Bhanyariwala. A must respected and venerated Sikh Preacher; Sant Baba Ranjit Singh Ji Dhandrianwale took personal exception to this particular song and even went to the extent of calling Babbu Maan a “Roda Poda” i.e. a person with cut hair. A question that must arise in all minds is how a “Roda Poda” would be interested in becoming a Saabat Surooat Sikh if those that already are, abuse and offend them?

The British Sikh Student Federation fully supports the mission of genuine Preacher’s who have taken up the responsibility of holding large samagams and initiating many thousands into the Khalsa Fold however at the same time are dead against any person who abuses the prestigious position of a Sikh Preacher.

Babbu Maan did not directly attack any Sikh Sant or Baba but he has been attacked by many till date. In regards to “Kar Seva” there have been numerous cases of Kar Seva Wale Baba’s being accused or caught out for pocketing some of the donations or using cheap materials for the construction of Gurdwara’s whilst filling cost sheets with “pumped up” figures. The reconstruction of Sri Akal Thakt Sahib by Former Jathedar of Buddha Dal, Jathedar Santa Singh after Operation Bluestar in June 1984 is an all too well known example which led to his exclusion from the Sikh Nation shortly afterwards, though he was re-accepted back into the Sikh Nation.

It is also interesting to note that the other songs on the album were not “examined” in anyway and in fact the second song “marrno mool” received a better response from the Sikh Youth than the problem song of “IK Baba Nanak Si”

The British Sikh Student Federation would like to request the Sikh Youth to support this effort by purchasing a legal copy and at the same time would request other influential personalities to use their “hold” over the youth to promote the Sikh Faith in a positive way.
