Singh Sabha Hitchin

Text of letter sent by Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Hitchin. Other Gurdwaras, please feel free to copy.

Dear Sangath and Management committee of Grays Gurdwara

We are writing as we have received disturbing news that you have decided to hold a function/party later in the week, which will involve alcohol and meat consumption on the premises of the Gurdwara Sahib. Whilst we would never get involved or try to influence in the running of any Sikh establishment, we have no choice but to raise our concern with regards to this decision in the strongest way as we feel it goes against the teachings of our Guru’s and desecrates the sanctity of our Guru Granth Sahib.

We would humbly request that you urgently reconsider this decision, as this will be sending a message that is contrary to the teachings of our beloved Sikh Faith.

We as Sangat and management committee of Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara Hitchin pray that the teachings of our Guru’s will prevail in you making the right decision.

Yours Faithfully

Sangath/Committee/Trustees of SGSSH

Latest from Facebook below. Jagtar Singh - can you please confirm?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

Over a period of 2-3 weeks Sikhs up and down the country have lobbied their MP to voice deep concerns on the proposed hand searches of the Dastaar at EU Airports.

The Sikh Federation contact over 650 MPs over a two day period to inform them of the Airport authorities interpretation of recent EU Regulation. This was in addition to sustained lobbying of senior Ministers and the high profile media campaign.

The result of this is that the Secretary of State for Transport has delayed the implementation of hand searching the Dastaar and the Department of Transport will work with Sikh organisations to arrive to a fairer outcome.

The lobby which was planned to take place tomorrow 30 June at 1pm is now postponed for the time being until the Department of Transport can offer a better alternative. If the right outcome is not reached we will put into motion preperation for another lobby date

We will keep you updated of progress, many thanks to those of you who contacted your MP.

BUMP!!!

Transport from Hitchin arranged. If anyone additionally wants to go from Hitchin, PM this account.

Wolverhampton Sikhs must ensure that Rob Marris maintains his seat. He has been an amazing representative for Sikhs in Parliament!

Sounds like they trying to copy Old Trafford with Reuben Singh and family's seats right behind Ferguson!
