Gurdwarae with a lot less charava/ mi-a have achived more than the £18m building in Southall. The only good thing to have come from Southall is the Primary School and even that at £11m is massive.
The accounts, selection and management of suppliers is not transparent -all we see are basic balance sheet/ P&L (local accountant stamped for 'authenticity') type sheets on the notice board or the guy on stage giving a 2 minute rapid up-date on funds.
There has to be a radical overhaul of how Gurdwara committee members are selected and ASSESSED !
How can Sohi be a custodian of the largest Gurdwara outside of India when his own family members (sons and nephews) have been done for bankrupting pubs, fighting/ brawling and getting drunk. Sohi is a poor father figure to his own blood and disillisioned incestous family members. Sohi sahib, you may talk a great story but you could/ can do a lot better. Because of the election debacle in 2006 and 2008 in Southhall, no one really bothered in 2010. Sohi, get your house in order before you 'attempt' to lead the largest Gurdwara outside of India !
The sangat is fed up with in fighting/ political maneuvering/ cussing.
The greatest thing in recent years at Havelock Road has been the Gatka and Punjabi classes (by the Lion Party).
Sohi won be default there was no one else -power hungry, ego manic who doesn't care for the youth (or his own children) !
The 3000'ish votes (out of a possible 11000 votes) for Sohi won on the smallest of margins -237 votes !
WHAT IS SOHI and his mob being assessed to do with their term in office ????
